Video: TalkBack: Pierre Wassenaar, President RSAW

In this interview Pierre Wassenaar discusses the role of the Royal Society of Architects in Wales (RSAW) and his plans as president. Pierre describes some of the projects that he has worked on in Wales and the skills he brings to the position. Public architecture's reliance upon Welsh Assembly and EU funding is explored (especially in relation to the recession) and the introduction of the Welsh variant to the Building Regulations Approved Documents is considered.

The programme examines the potential for architects in Wales to deal with the country's run-down building stock, and discusses space standards and housing provision. Pierre also talks about the possibility for sustainable regeneration in post industrial Wales, and looks at sustainability in relation to tall buildings and land values.
