Activities
SEDA aims to help members
keep informed about developments in eological design, and to enable
contact and the sharing of information amongst its members. It also
has a public role, responding to government initiatives, and encouraging
the public to make informed ecological choices.
Activities include:
- Seminars, lectures
and workshops - including visits to projects which have an ecological
approach to design and living.
- A magazine which comes
out 3 times a year, and monthly e-mail bulletins giving updates
on events and items of topical interest.
- Responses to government
initiatives.
- An annual travel award
for students of design who are studying in Scotland.
- The Association forms
a network, and so can link those who are seeking information and
services with those who can provide them.

Rowardennan Visitors' Centre
Designed
for the Loch Lomond and Trossachs Interim Committee by Simpson and
Brown Architects in association with Richard Shorter. The visitors'
centre, on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, provides shelter, toilets
and locker accommodation for walkers, and a wardens' room.
The building was designed to make use of local materials, sourced
as near the site as possible. It has a green oak frame with mud
and straw walls which are protected by lime harling, a slate roof
and locally quarried stone foundations. Composting toilets have
also been used.
