"As we emerge from lockdown, our undivided attention returns to the defining challenge of our time - the climate and biodiversity crisis associated with the extractive and polluting nature of much of our economy and current building practices. Architects have taken on this challenge head on and are stepping up to reduce embodied and operational carbon, use sustainably sourced materials, rediscover and innovate the use of traditional building techniques, and expand their knowledge to guide clients in their quest for futureproof buildings."
