it is perverse to continue with architectural curricula structured around designing for new construction Schools need to put most of their pedagogical efforts into educating architects capable of repairing and re-imagining the existing built environment placesjournal.org/article/re…

Repairing Architecture Schools

Architecture education has long upheld the ideal that to be an architect is “to build.” Now we must invest in preservation and repair. In short, we need a pedagogical revolution.

Great news that Duncan Baker MP will be bringing a 10 minute rule bill before the House of Commons on 2nd February to start to regulate embodied carbon. Get writing to your MPs to support this.

This is conflict of interest for the MPA. We need accurate, consistent and objective carbon accounting. Concrete is one of the biggest single contributors to GHGs - the industry can mess around with calculations but we simply need to use much, much less. dezeen.com/2022/01/12/uk-cem…

UK appoints Mineral Products Association to calculate concrete's potential as a carbon sink

The UK government has commissioned the concrete industry trade body to determine the amount of atmospheric CO2 captured in concrete buildings.

If everyone who has been grateful for NHS staff over the last two years followed and retweeted, we would reach a million in no time. It will only take a few seconds, and your support would really mean a lot to a huge number of people who continue to fight Covid-19.

It is hugely encouraging to see embodied carbon cited as a reason for refusal as well as questions over the potential for future reuse. This is significant. architectsjournal.co.uk/news…

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK. The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies. RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5
