2024 : the circular economy can only get better

Sustainable building methods and materials have long been a part of the work of architects and designers. However, the idea of resilience has become more urgent as climate-related disasters become more frequent and intense. Director of Buildings, Lisa Carey Moore, talks about resources, like Declare, that designers can use to find resiliency solutions for their clients. https://lnkd.in/dH7J7Rjb #LivingFuture #SustainableBuildings #SustainableArchitecture #HealthyMaterials

KCSD "Sustainability in Practice" The aim of Sustainability in Practice series of workshops is bridging the gap between students’ undergraduate studies and practice in the market. In our workshops, students go through past and currents projects at Methods Design (Both local and International projects). This gives hands-on experience through workshops with architects in the office going step by step through different projects. #sustainability #sustainable #greenenergy #greenbuilding #projects #architect #workshops #sustainablearchitecture

Greener Architecture is here! 💚 Driving the charge to net-zero architecture, University of Cambridge has devised a method to recycle cement to produce ultra-low-emission concrete, while cutting the carbon footprint of steelmaking. Architects Climate Action Network chair Brigitte Clements said that the new process is “the first step” towards a new era of sustainable building practices and reducing the environmental footprint of one of the world’s most essential materials.

Thursday Trends This week in our series on efficiency in architecture we will discuss environmental efficiency. Environmental efficiency in architecture refers to designing and constructing buildings to minimize their negative impact on the environment and maximize their sustainable performance. This involves considering various aspects such as energy usage, resource conservation, waste reduction, and overall ecological responsibility. Architects, designers, and builders are crucial in implementing sustainable practices to create environmentally responsible buildings and contribute positively to the community.

Business conditions at US architecture firms continued to decline in December 2023 according to the AIA/Deltek Architecture Billings Index. If the typical pattern holds, the declining trend (which has now continued for eight months) is likely to translate into a slow down in building construction activity sometime in the second quarter of 2024. #constructioneconomics #aia

If you have ever engaged in design and construction you must have dealt with the dilemmas of availability of resources while wanting to do it right. This here, is very much worth reading, if you want to dive into some thoughts about just that. I’ll be honest, I did not find the Churchill reference, but I fully engage in “what gets mapped, gets managed”!

The construction sector is an essential part of our region's economy, now and in the future. Take a look at new research into the sector and recommendations for driving it forward:  https://lnkd.in/e5geSDFe Ryder Architecture | North of Tyne Combined Authority | Constructing Excellence in the North East
