A must-go event. The speaker is inspirational and passionate.

While concluding my M.Sc in Housing Studies from the University of Glasgow a wee while back, I researched on 'Retrofitting the Scottish Housing Stock for Net-Zero' for my thesis. I was able to identify significant clogs-in-the-wheel where retrofitting is concerned, particularly when you factor in the age of the UK housing stock. While the race to provide safe, secure and liveable housing is on, and having lost some of our iconic traditional architecture over the years to demolition and urban renewal practices, (Scottish tenements come to mind), we must begin to look past the obvious obstacles to retrofitting and start thinking about how we can better conserve and preserve our architectural heritage. Thanks to forums like this one by ECD Architects Ltd, we can begin having these essential conversations about retrofitting regardless. The more we start speaking about this, the ripple effects will begin to materialise; we are protecting our environment, reducing carbon emissions, preserving architecture and saving history. #SocialHousing #Housing #CarbonEmmissions #Conservation #Architecture #NetZero

🙌 Should we build new buildings, or should we renew the existing ones? --- I’m excited to share my upcoming insights on the benefits of renewing existing infrastructure projects. In Peru, we have decided to implement a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model in the Health and Education sectors, focusing on revitalizing and equipping a 7-year-old hospital. This initiative will allow the public sector to quickly restore productivity, improve health and safety standards, and deliver significant social benefits. By modernizing and re-equipping the hospital, we aim to enhance the quality of public services in a short timeframe. We celebrate these forward-thinking actions and look forward to discussing more about the impact and potential of such projects! Share your thoughts!! #Innovation #O&M #publicsector #costbenefict

As part of Realdania’s 25th-anniversary initiative, Vores Sted (Our Place), 60 local associations across Denmark have now been allocated a pavilion to strengthen their local community. Out of 679 applications in the first round, these 60 pavilions, crafted from recycled and biogenic materials, are scheduled for construction in 2025. The project is a collaboration between Realdania, six design offices, including Cobe, ReVærk, pihlmann architects, Archival Studies, Rumgehør and Studio XYZ, along with technical advisors. Through joint workshops and a collaborative process in both design and community involvement, four basic pavilions with varied functionality and expression have been designed. We can't wait to see the 60 meeting places come to life and foster community across Denmark. Learn more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/dE6VVkkA
