As architects, we are aware of our profession’s responsibility for the environment. Buildings and construction account for 39 per cent of the world’s total carbon emissions, 28 per cent coming from operational emissions and the remaining 11 per cent from embodied carbon emissions associated with materials and construction processes over the entire life cycle of a building.
Bearing this in mind, our fundamental goals have become…
…asserting green thinking in the operation of our firm,
…applying sustainability and circularity as the key principles in our work,
…minimising the environmental impact of the buildings we design throughout their entire life cycle, and
…educating everyone involved.
