City and County of Honolulu Office of Climate Change, Sustainability and Resiliency’s Post

What's it like working with a team to produce Let's Build #architecture events all year? From graphics, social media, and copy to speakers, venues, food & drink, sponsors, and more, it’s a whirlwind! Lockdown got us comfy working solo even with a remote team (in the background kind-of), but now we're still itching for face-to-face, in-person human interactions. Since it ended, we still crave in-person human interactions and connections. For most of us, the shift back to the office shows it, and is (still) teaching us how to juggle being in-person and working with a remote team online/ others working-from-home. It's like we forgot how to socialize, but now we're relearning! Being in a team of 10, 15, 20? It’s no walk in the park—dealing with different personalities and work styles can be tough. Collaborating with our team (some in-person and remote) is interesting. But, we thrive on it, producing top-notch events every year. This year is no different; we’re back at London Festival of Architecture AGAIN! Join us on Thursday, June 6th, at tp bennett for “Climate Change: Reimagine Our City.” Grab your tickets now- https://lnkd.in/eJm5nthD #events #eventsmanagement #lfa #LFA #LondonFestivalofArchitecture #architects #architecture #marketing #marketer #marketingexecutive #seniormarketingexecutive #marketingmanager #london

Situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire and the Pacific Typhoon Belt, the Philippines is prone to natural hazards and extreme weather events. It is already one of the world’s most typhoon impacted places, and there is strong scientific consensus that changing climate is contributing to stronger typhoons now. Connect with our regional team to understand how early design guidance by RWDI can help designers optimise performance of projects in a region that is facing the brunt of climate change. #RWDI #ClimateEngineering #LeadonClimate #EnvironmentalStewardship #EarlyDesignGuidance #Sustainability #BuildingPerformance #WindEngineering

Exciting panel discussion on the trend towards 'new suburbs' and the concept of the 15-minute city. This debate delves into the growing preference among architects, master-planners, and developers for creating lively micro-communities. We explore the feasibility of the 15-minute city idea and how architects can effectively plan for a diverse mix of amenities. Key points include the need for innovative solutions in traffic flow and infrastructure for regional hubs, the time required to integrate these hubs into existing cities or develop new micro-hub cities, and the potential similarities to the small town concept of the past. Join us for insights from panelists representing various perspectives in the industry. Moderated by Adam Smith, this promises to be a thought-provoking discussion at the FOA Summit. #FOA #FOASummit #FOAAwards.

"This kind of holistic approach is what it will take to sensitively adapt our historic homes for a net zero carbon future, but we fear it doesn’t go far enough to affect the change needed in an equitable manner." - Stephen Anderson, Buttress An insightful piece in Architects’ Journal about tackling some of the barriers involved in retrofitting historic homes.

Great topic being discussed in the next CIBSE Retrofit in Heritage lunchtime webinar, once again demonstrating that there is value in retrofitting our extensive heritage building stock. It may be a challenge, but nothing worthwhile is ever that easy! #cibse #retrofit #heritage #heritagebuildings #decarbonise #listedbuildings

My favorite thing about this article is how Kaia Nesbitt, RLA perfectly Ts up three common community needs that are driving the way we think about public space. She is so spot on; it ends up forming the structure for the entire piece. Great insights from Kaia and others shared here.

Kalundborg - rethink the city valuing key principles of movement, belonging and aesthetics. The city is practising the New European Bauhaus through citizens engagement processes - nothing is defined yet, most is open for explorations, but learnings emerge and will most likely be incorporated in how the city evolves and perceives of itself. As such, Kalundborg is one of the core pilots in Desire an Irresistible Circular Society - and a pilot that hopefully will keep its pilot character of being curious to new ways of collaborating and exploring.
