Podcast Transcript with Sebo Gabor on Green Wall, Green Facade
Jan 27th, 2010 | By omar shaikh | Category: Featured, PodcastsSuzanne Bowen: Definitely, it made our call and our interview with you much easier to complete. And in fact I was listening to your answers on the last call and I was wondering what is your background? What is your educational background or professional background, I will be really curious to know.
Gabor Sebo: I have a diploma of Macro Economics, and I made the position in the business as well as marketing and as an opinion director of some companies. After some experience I take this position consulting. But I’m not especially trained in technical expertise.
Suzanne Bowen: Yes, so you were discussing your background in education and in your career. Like you say, it’s not so much that you are an important person but that you paid attention to people in your life who you learned from and that’s exactly what I would love to do and this is why we want to deliver this kind of content with people like you because people are learning from you in turn. So I appreciate the comments that you made about yourself because it makes sense, you know all the way around.
Suzanne Bowen: Gabor, Ali my colleague had a couple of questions. We actually wrote them in the chat window. He asked, “What do you foresee as the actual materialization of the green façade, green wall project in the near future.?What needs to happen to see it materialize?”
Gabor Sebo: We have some effort to make to realize our technology and as soon as possible. Unfortunately there were some good projects with big hopes dropped in the past. It is a matter of addressing the new administration centre in Budapest. There was international competition and the plan of who would be the winner with a green plan with green façade and roofs. That was a plan to evolve this project, but all projects were dropped by teams because of financing problem and political as well. We were contacted by several investors and not only Hungary but neighboring countries Romania, Bucharest, and from Ukraine, Kiev. There was another project who was interested in adopting the green façade and green roofs. All these projects are only in preparation phase and all technologies have some details to have to be fine tuned. Mostly in the winter season it will help operate more efficiently and without any technical problems. But I hope in the near future in one or two years, I can show you. Not only in computer graphics but in the reality as well. The second is very difficult to make scientific or measurable effect, that is all positive changes that the bio mass on the whole would make and it is very difficult to modelize it. It would be very difficult to make mathematical model. That means the absorption of seeds to the flying dust on the air in the urban condition. There are several types of poisonous gases which can be absorbed by the leaves of creepers on the wall. If we have to say it should work, that is difficult to make a real act or it could be some experience and nobody wants to make an experience.
Suzanne Bowen: I know. Yeah I know but.
Gabor Sebo: We will start step by step I think. Not a big one project but small show people that works and it has very positive effects.
Suzanne Bowen: Exactly. I see some similarities in Green Technologies with the concept of social media and social networking online. Again it’s kind of a thing where it’s hard to measure mathematically but you know it works.
Gabor Sebo: Yes, of course.
Suzanne Bowen: You know I really wish you the best. I’m hoping that this podcast will drive more interest to you and others like you who are involved in greening, green technologies, green façade, green roof, green wall and bring us back to our roots in history… So how can people contact your company, how can they contact you? What are you looking for in partners, investment, clients? Just let us know because that’s what people are going ask me, and if we can just let you say it on the podcast interview, that will help quite a bit.
Gabor Sebo: Yes. Of course there is Internet. We have a web-page, Lico Art webpage. There are several special professional conferences or seminars I visit and make personal contacts with colleagues or potential investors as well. I am also open with any question, any inquiry, any demand for consultancy or give some idea as well. I think more and more people are looking for Green Technologies and we have future, I am very sure.
I can offer my email address, this is on the web-page as well: sebo@licoart.hu or phone number and fax number as well on the web-page. It’s called www.lico-art.hu
Suzanne Bowen: All right. Well ,thank you very much, Gabor.
Gabor Sebo: Thank you for interviewing me. Goodbye.
