It's all hands on deck at the John Landy Athletics Field! 🔨 The redevelopment of the Geelong Region's athletics track is in its final stages, with the project expected to be completed within the coming weeks. The redevelopment will use more than 50 tonnes of recycled rubber as part of upgrades, from end-of-life truck tyres. CEO of City of Greater Geelong, Ali Wastie, has stated that the use of recyclable materials in Council projects is an ongoing priority: "Our Environment Strategy promotes a circular economy through sustainable procurement practices, supports new and existing markets for recovered resources, and promotes increased use of recycled materials in road, building and other infrastructure constructions.” Read more about the John Landy Redevelopment Project here: https://lnkd.in/e4abmVTr Image credit: Geelong Athletics

It's time for #Olympics2024 - and usually its the sports nuts (and insomniacs!) who are excited. But this time around it's about much more than sport. For those who are: - sustainability and impact minded - curious to see how or why a business should get invovled - unsure about how you can deliver impact without damaging your existing business Have a look into the great work of Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 - they're taking a different approach to their Olympic developments. https://lnkd.in/gnr2up9g

Thrilled to see the historic House of Fraser on Oxford Street getting a new lease on life! Publica Properties has appointed McLaren Construction to transform the space into a modern mixed-use development, blending retail, offices, restaurants, and even a gym with a pool! ️ This project isn't just about reviving a beloved landmark, it's also a prime example of sustainable development. By reusing much of the existing structure and facade, they're significantly reducing the carbon footprint. Plus, high-performance windows and centralized services will further minimize emissions. ♻️ This "retro-first" approach is exactly what we need to see more of in the construction industry. Not only does it preserve heritage, but it also creates vibrant new spaces while minimizing environmental impact. This project is a great example of how innovation and sustainability can go hand-in-hand. Repurposing existing buildings is not only good for the environment but also breathes new life into cherished landmarks. Excited to see the finished product! ✨ https://lnkd.in/eEDqTxvC #OxfordStreet #Sustainability #Retrofitting #Construction #London

Team GB has certainly been bringing home the wins at Paris 2024 this week (whoop - go Team GB!) 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 The world class event is being promoted as the greenest Olympics ever, aiming to halve the carbon emissions of the last Olympics - and so it's no surprise that construction is at the heart of this ambition. The Paris 2024 Olympic Village represents a significant advancement in sustainable urban development. Reducing the number of brand new stadiums and buildings, Paris has relied heavily on wood as a building material for new infrastructure and using low-carbon concrete. Benoit BAZIN, CEO of Saint-Gobain, says that the 2024 event: “aims to set an example in terms of diversity, inclusion and responsible commitment, with ambitious targets to halve the event’s carbon footprint compared with previous Games. "A goal that is naturally in line with our corporate purpose and the Group’s ambition to be the worldwide leader in light and sustainable construction." What are your thoughts - is Paris 2024 winning at sustainability? #netzero #carbonemissions #carbonfootprint #retrofit #olympics2024 #sustainableconstruction https://lnkd.in/ehsQqzCN

Day 23: Meeting Sustainability Goals Sustainability goals are increasingly expected of modern stadiums. Incorporating green design elements, renewable energy sources, water-saving systems, and eco-friendly materials demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility. Working with sustainability consultants from the outset ensures these elements are integrated seamlessly rather than added as an afterthought. Achieving certifications like LEED signals to the community and sponsors that the stadium prioritises sustainability. These features aren’t just ethical; they’re cost-effective in the long run and appeal to environmentally-conscious fans. A sustainable stadium is future-proofed and aligned with the growing global commitment to a greener planet. How do you integrate sustainability into your projects?

#EuroTeQcollider 2024: - Introducing challenge 6 of 18: "Heritage for a Sustainable Future - Pushing sustainability in architecture forward" by the TUM Chair of conservation-restoration, Art Technology and Conservation Science / Dr. Roberta Fonti: "Heritage for a Sustainable Future" aims at urging students to peer into our past for progressing architectural topics in the future. In retrospect, sustainable building systems that respect our planet should be considered and rethought to help shape the cities of the future.In the strict meaning of the conservationrestoration field, providing a sustainable future to our existing heritage means seeking for a balance between new functions and the distinctive spatiality of the existing built (Design) while ensuring its safety (Engineering) so as to redevelop buildings without causing irreversible changes to their structural and architectural features." ARE YOU INTERESTED IN ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE? So register until March 31, 2024. Find further information under www.ja.tum.de/ja/euroteq https://lnkd.in/dTGqVhyf

Our founder’s entire talk is now uploaded in TEDx Talks in YouTube! In this talk, we discuss the importance of creating buildings and spaces that not only minimize their environmental impact but actively contribute to the regeneration of our planet. I share insights and examples of innovative design approaches that prioritize sustainability and resilience in the built environment returning architecture to her role. Answering human needs. I invite you to join the conversation on how we can all contribute to a more sustainable future through architecture and design. Together, we can make a positive impact on our planet and create a better world for future generations. #sustainablearchitecture #regenerativearchitecture #TEDxTalks #PanteionUniversity
