DIALOG’s Martin Nielsen and Mona Lemoine will be joined by fellow industry leaders, on Friday, May 17, at this year’s The Royal Architectural Institute Of Canada | L'Institut royal d'architecture du Canada (RAIC) Conference on Architecture in Vancouver to deliver a thought-provoking presentation on unlocking accelerated action on climate change. This session, “RAIC Climate Action Plan – Supporting the Transformation of Practice,” will be moderated by Joanne Perdue and will feature Martin; Eladia Smoke, Smoke Architecture Inc.; and Michel Labrie, Local Practice Architecture + Design; who will share their insights and experiences with building a culture of design for climate and ecological health. The presenters will also discuss how their firms are developing leadership skills to accelerate positive change. Additionally, Mona will provide a brief overview of the RAIC’s draft Climate Action Plan, which was informed by a nationwide consultation with over 600 participants.

Well done to Tayla Lindsey and Studio Pacific Architecture for taking a lead here. There is much confusion across the building sector on "WHAT" to report and "HOW" to report it, in the Sustainability field. LCA, BPIR, EPD. LBC, Greenstar/Homestar and Nabers, all feature in this space and as a manufacturer and supplier, we need to answers for ALL of them. Some information crosses over and in other cases can be very specific to a particular project. Having an advocate within the practice makes the information flow better, and helps the design teams ask for the right information from us.
Tayla Lindsay – Bachelor of Building Science and Master of Architectural Science Aluma, and Sustainability Specialist at Studio Pacific – shares her story of studying at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington and how that led to a career in sustainable architecture at Studio Pacific Architecture.

IN FEATURE: "My passion for architecture and my commitment to sustainability prompted me to delve into fields such as biomimicry, green design, and sustainable construction. During my free time, I dedicated myself to exploring various tools, including software, designed to assist architects and designers in delivering environmentally conscious projects. Additionally, I eagerly studied how diverse cultures across different eras harmoniously coexisted with nature. In my view, history and nature serve as the most profound teachers in this endeavor."

🏙 With climate change no longer being a distant threat but an imminent reality, architectural practices are facing major challenges. Seeking not only to limit the negative environmental effects, but aiming for net-positive impact, is SCC member White Arkitekter. The Link spoke to Anna Lisa McSweeney, architect and UK Head of Sustainability at White Arkitekter, to delve into the core principles of regenerative urban planning to break down the key question: How do we transform our cities into spaces that thrive in harmony with nature and its population? “At White Arkitekter, we’ve always said that we want to enable a sustainable life through the art of architecture. We are of an explorative nature, and we have good experience of basing our projects in research,” says Anna Lisa. 💡 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/dgvCp_Aa 💡 Read the full issue of the Link 367: https://lnkd.in/eTXV9_Jz

As one of EDR's first Research Fellows in 2012, Corey Squire, AIA helped formalize many of the sustainability initiatives within the firm, penning a guide we still reference today called the "Sustainability Action Plan." Now, he's written "People Planet Design: A Practical Guide to Realizing Architecture’s Potential" to guide others on "transformative human-centered architecture." We are so proud of Corey, now Director of Sustainability at BORA Architects in Portland. Congratulations to you, Corey!

Every year, the first Monday of October celebrated as #WorldArchitectureDay. For 2023, the UIA Council has selected the theme "Architecture for Resilient Community" to highlight the profound role of architecture in shaping thriving and resilient communities. Resilience in the #BuiltEnvironment is a multifaceted concept, encompassing the ability to endure and bounce back from adversity. It extends to individuals, nature, material selection, and the architectural design of structures and landscapes. Across different geographies and societies, there exists a vast spectrum of approaches and capabilities in addressing challenges to foster resilient communities. Above are the few strategies to build a resilient community for everyone to overcome challenges of climate change. Comment your thoughts on "Architecture for Resilient Community. #truenorth #worldarchitetureday #Resilience #BuiltEnvironment #CommunityStrength #sustainablearchiteture #climatechange #sustainabledevelopmentgoals 📷 Credit: Rethinking The Future @universityofmichigan @counselling Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy (AEEE) @EUROBiz Medium @thepewcharitablertrust

Just wrapped up an amazing and thought-provoking discussion with Ar. Stephen McCusker on the intersection of architectural practice and circular economy. Explored key areas involving sustainability, climate mitigation, adaptability in design, and the future potential of circular economy principles in architecture. Thank you so much Stephen McCusker for sharing your invaluable knowledge and expertise on the field! #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Architecture #ClimateAction

Benny Kuriakose is expressing his thoughts on the significance of climate change in relation to architecture. He likely emphasizes the need for architects to address environmental challenges in their designs, advocating for sustainable practices. #knowledgesharingseries #bennykuriakoseandassociate #climatechange #sustainability

What's your resolution? Running a 7 minute mile is an admirable goal, but it won't be easy to achieve if it's too hot to even step foot outside. With global temperatures set to soar, it's time to ask yourself: what are you doing to stop the climate crisis? This year, set your resolution to become a CPHD and make sure your buildings are a part of the climate solution. Backed by over 30 years of global technical leadership and scientific research, our regionally organized hybrid courses are a mix of on-demand and live online instruction, flexibly paced for your individual needs. Training begins January 18th. Time is running out to register.

Project Support Officer (Circular Economy) at Irish Green Building Council, Architect MRIAI, Photographer
🌱 It was wonderful to give a lecture and host a workshop on the Circular Economy and Collective Climate Action for Architects in the School of Architecture at University of Limerick on Monday. 🌱In the lecture we looked at topics such as: 🌿 Architecture Climate Action Network (ACAN) 🌿 Design for Adaptability 🌿 Design for Deconstruction 🌿 Circular Material Selection including using platforms such as the Construction Materials Exchange (CMEx) as a way to reduce the carbon impact in the construction industry 🌿 Cradle to Cradle certification 🌿 The health benefits of using natural materials in buildings 🌿 Mindfulness in relation to using resources eg. reducing water, energy and soil 🌱 In the workshop, each student took a design project they were working on and embedded circularity principles that were mentioned in the lecture using the Regenerate Tool. 🌱 The Regenerate tool is a circular economy tool created by the University of Sheffield with help from AECOM. I would highly recommend using it on your projects. #circulareconomy #architecture #education #climateaction #cmex
