The director within one of the biggest groups of architects in Europe, architect Ged Couser, will attend, as guest speaker, the fifth edition of RIFF International Architecture Expo Conference, taking place on November 10-11, în Bucharest, at Radisson Blu Hotel.

Ged’s work is primarily focused upon Healthcare. He has extensive knowledge and experience of leading the design and delivery of major and complex projects in that sector in both the UK and abroad from initial concept stage through to completion. He is the Project Director for the new Alder Hey Children’s Healthpark project which is due for completion in 2015. The £288m project located in Liverpool consisted in merging the clinic and park for the therapeutic benefit of its patients and staff. He has also led the design and delivery of a number projects in the education sector within his project portfolio. He has a sensitive design approach and enjoys creating innovative solutions to the complex problems that Healthcare architecture can sometimes bring.

BDP is Europe’s largest group of architects, working across all major sectors and building types worldwide. Founded in 1961, the office now has studios across the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, the MENA region, India, and China. Their offices range in size and vary in style – some in historic surroundings, others in the very latest BDP-designed buildings, some have 20 people and some 300.

With over 50 years of experience and more than 500 industry accolades — including two nominations for the RIBA Stirling Prize— are proof of BDP’s scale, quality and diversity.

In February 2014, two of BDP’s projects have been shortlisted in this year’s Building Awards. The Creative Arts Building at City College Norwich has been shortlisted in the small project of the year category, and the Suzhou District Planning Exhibition Hall in China has been shortlisted in the international project of the year category.

RIFF 2014 is part of the series of international architecture expo conference organized this year by ABplus Events in Bucharest, Warsaw and Budapest, together with the Order of the Architects of Romania, the Association of Polish Architects and the Chamber of Hungarian Architects.
