We exist in both our natural & built environments. When we talk about making better places, we're really talking about ensuring future environments for humans. You can't talk about built environments without talking about the natural environments in which they sit and co-exist.

I hammer on a lot about this quirk of British Vs American English use. Here's a perfect example. Does this make sense to you?

When you have the smallest housing in Europe, there is no reasonable excuse for building 2bed2bath flats. Change my mind.

When recently discussing 'returning to the office', in the past week I've had no less than 4 women (and it's only been women) express to me how nice it is to go back to the office, but the laundry is getting out of hand. Sometimes modern society doesn't feel particularly modern.

Question time! Who do you think is/has been doing big, important, influential, successful things in 'sustainable built environment'. From any discipline/background. I want to know what I'm missing!

It's 2022. I'm still having conversations about why good design is important and how it's valued so little.

Following the completion of #EntopiaCambridge we’re proud to share the lessons we’ve learnt, from the ways that it's #buildingchange, to how the building is performing against targets. Everything you need to know, in a short report, read here:

❓Did you know: #EntopiaCambridge saved 21,000kg of embodied carbon by using reclaimed materials, such as the solar panels on the roof, held up with repurposed lighting rigs originally used on the set of a Marvel film! 🦸♂️⚒️🐝

Some older folks like the tradition of working from an office & some have nice homes with home offices and want to work from home. Some young people prefer the digital nomad lifestyle (no office) & some live in teeny shared spaces and need an office. Can we stop stereotyping?!

Forward thinking offices will learn how to accommodate ALL of their types of workers to get the best out of them as individuals while still getting the best out of the collective. That's the real secret to the future of work.

Some people mentally prefer to work in communal environments and some don't. I wish we'd move on to finding nuance in the future of work instead of trying to paint everyone with the same brush (which never works!).
