Recently, I spoke to Architecture & Design journalist Jarrod Reddie about HDR’s resilience imperative, human-centered design, and the importance of reconnecting humans and nature so we can envision a regenerative future that is underpinned by community well-being. To hear my perspectives, please check out the article below. https://lnkd.in/eSZBpj5R

Thank you Kara Thompson for this neat summary of the recent City Architecture Forum event on retrofit and reuse of buildings. As it says, the statistics I presented on "the state of the circular economy" were... depressing! Yes, the construction industry generates 62% of the UK's waste and 32% of all waste sent to landfill. Crucially, 13% of construction materials are diverted straight to waste without being used. What I want to spur on in our sector by baring the hard truths, is simply less talk and more action in this area. Such an uplifiting conclusion too : With a focus on circular economy practices, flexible design solutions, and proactive engagement with stakeholders, the possibilities for transformation are endless. It's time to dance to a new tune and create a built environment that not only meets our needs today but also ensures a sustainable future for generations to come. #CityofLondon #CircularEconomy #ReuseRevolution

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

During Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress, I had the pleasure of meeting Piotr Piotrowski, a visionary architect specializing in circular architecture. We engaged in a thought-provoking discussion about the pivotal role architecture plays in making circularity a reality, not just an aspiration. One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the necessity of a holistic approach to transition from linear to circular models. Piotr’s PhD research on ‘Digital Tools for Enhanced Material Reuse’ offers invaluable insights into this transformation. His expertise sheds light on the potential of circular construction to revolutionize our built environment. Consider this: we invest significantly in structures that have a lifespan of 30-50 years, sometimes even longer. Yet, these investments often lock us into unsustainable practices. It’s crucial to deepen our understanding and expertise in this field to ensure that our infrastructure supports sustainability. One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned from the EN-Road climate simulation training by Climate Interactive is the impact of infrastructure lifespan on climate change and sustainability. The insights from experts like Piotr Piotrowski are vital for shaping a sustainable future. Let’s invest in knowledge and embrace circular construction principles for a more sustainable world. #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #CircularArchitecture #ClimateChange #SustainableConstruction #ENRoad #MaterialReuse #GreenBuilding #HolisticApproach

Crafting a Sustainable Urban Landscape Through Smart Mobility. As urban populations grow, municipalities grapple with escalating challenges, including pollution, resource depletion, and increasing traffic congestion. In response, the paradigm of smart cities has emerged, leveraging digital technologies to forge urban environments that are not only sustainable but also livable and efficient. #JamesCubitt #JamesCubittMENA #UrbanPlanning #SmarterMobility #ElectricCars #BuildingExcellence #MasterPlanning #ArchitecturalDesign #architecture #engineering #projectsupervision #menabusiness #dubaibusiness #abudhabibusiness #projectdesign #developmentconsulting

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

Through the lifecycle of buildings, there are many opportunities for us to address carbon, in meaningful ways. It will require for us to focus on all of them, if we are going to meet our carbon goals. via World Economic Forum #unsdg #wellbeingbydesign #deepretrofits #retrofits #sustainabledesign #retrofit #carbon #climateemergency #climatemitigation #climateadaptation #cities #architecture #urbanplanning #urbandesign #mechanicalengineering #sustainability

Come and help us answer a fundamental question: how can the Built Environment profession respond to the Carbon challenge? Going from other Academy of Urbanism initiatives, I have no doubt that this will be a fascinating event with lots of knowledge being shared!
There's one week to go until The Carbon Challenge: What can built environment professionals do? Tuesday 28 November, 17:00 at Arup London Six excellent speakers, Syreeta Bayne MSc, FICRS, Chris Brown, Kyle Gray, Mandy Franz, kevin logan, and Sue Riddlestone OBE, will join us to explore how we best plan, design and develop places in a sustainable way and identify where the first green shoots are already thriving so that we can all learn from those examples. Chaired by Andreas Markides. Tickets + discount codes, speaker info, and more can be found at theaou.org/carbon #sustainability #AoUevents #carbon #netzero #urbanism #builtenvironment #urbandesign #architecture #transport

Last year we asked you to take part in a survey that asked practitioners in architecture about their perceptions of the climate crisis, what action they and their practice were currently engaged in, and their hopes for the future of the profession so as to understand what new knowledge and skills are required for the profession to proactively respond to the climate crisis. The report is now available. Link to report: https://aus.archi/wro4 Architecture Climate Futures led the survey in partnership with the Australian Institute of Architects and the Association of Architecture Schools of Australasia (AASA). #CarbonNeutral #Environment #ClimateCrisis #Sustainability #ClimateJustice #Climate #ClimateEmergency #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction #Sustainable #Architect #Architecture #ArchitectureEducation
