The greening of architecture

Partners:

Tickets for this event are available via Eventbrite.

For years, almost every article written about architecture has focused on the climate, net zero, sustainability, carbon emissions, global warming, resilience, retrofit, adaptive reuse, passive this and circular that, etc.

It’s clear there is a huge environmental lobby disproportionately weighing the scales to one side of the argument, which, of course, is their democratic right. But I believe that these arguments simply need to be counteracted by sensible, practical, business, management and financial matters relating to the everyday practice of getting things built. Running a profitable practice is key.

At this Battle of Ideas Satellite event hosted by the East Midlands Salon, Austin Williams will examine the impact of ‘green’ policies on architecture
