Architects are key players in the #CircularWorkplace, not least because they've been leading the charge in tracking embodied carbon throughout the built environment. With accurate data in hand, they can:   Create buildings that are adaptable to changing uses over time. 🏢🔄🔧   Repurpose existing structures and assets instead of building new. ♻️🏚️🏗️   Understand the full environmental impact of materials from extraction to disposal. 🌱🔍📉   Collaborate with designers, engineers, builders, and sustainability consultants throughout the project lifecycle. 🤝👷♂️🌍   Plan for the eventual deconstruction of buildings, viewing them as material banks. 🔨♻️🚧 Contributors include: Andrew Ellsworth at Doors Unhinged Sam K Allen, at M Moser Associates Dr. Christine Bruckner, at M Moser Associates Benjamin Holsinger at Gensler Jeffery Frost at Brightworks Sustainability Eric Law at Urban Machine Jenn Chen, at LMN Architects Kjell Anderson, at LMN Architects Raefer Wallis at RESET® Kay Sargent at HOK Patricia Semmler at PEMstudio Simona Fischer at MSR Design Reach out to learn more about our latest report: #CircularEconomy #BuiltEnvironment #Architects

🏢 Architects and designers are pivotal in shaping a truly #CircularWorkplace. At the frontlines of discussions around reuse, they often face the question: “What can we do with everything in this existing space?” By championing circular practices from the earliest stages, A&D professionals have the power to guide the industry toward sustainable solutions. This means not only planning for beautiful, functional spaces but also influencing and educating clients on the long-term value of reuse & sustainable decommissioning.

Materials library: MarksBarfield Architects! Julia Barfield, Ian Crockford and Thomas Henderson Schwartz discuss how the #ClimateEmergency is reshaping the practice’s approach to design, construction and materiality. "We’ve been ‘on a journey’, as they say, and this has included introducing a strategy for change (based on the original Architects Declare strategy for change), where the practice has stated its environmental aims and then outlined the various stages/operations needed to achieve them," says Julia Barfield. "Our principal objective is to become a regenerative practice aligned to the planetary emergency, and where everything it does is set within planetary limits. This includes becoming climate literate and increasing our Passivhaus design capability." Read the full feature interview in the link below! ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eqMemee7

🌍 World Skyscraper Day | September 3, 2024 🏙️ 4Today, we celebrate the bold architecture and advanced engineering that shape our modern cities. Skyscrapers are not just technical achievements; they are also symbols of human creativity and innovation. These towering structures represent our ability to push boundaries and transform urban landscapes into true works of art. Whether through their cutting-edge designs or their impact on the economy and society, skyscrapers are enduring landmarks of our time. Let's take a moment to appreciate the skilled hands – from architects to engineers to builders – that make these structures possible. As participants in the construction sector, we must continue to innovate while adhering to safety and sustainability standards to build a strong future. #WorldSkyscraperDay #Architecture #Engineering #Innovation #UrbanPlanning #SustainableConstruction

Contextual design is often misunderstood. Many think it means replicating existing buildings to blend in with the surroundings, but that often results in "cookie-cutter" structures that lack character and fail to meet a neighborhood's evolving needs. In our latest blog, we explore what true contextual design really means—and what it doesn't.

How does one take the current temperature of residential architecture in America—the identification of its fashions, its experimental developments and, moreover, the individuals who are its trailblazers in every state in the nation? It’s a question that demands other questions, including: At that local level, what are the primary market challenges…and opportunities? And in the wake of the devastation that Americans have experienced under their own roofs in 2024 from the new extreme-weather reality, what role should America’s architects, the nation’s building-design experts, be playing in the recovery-and-rebuild efforts of these tragedies? In the last decade, the function of the architect in society has been transformed; and today, as consumers navigate climate challenges and the demands they’re placing on our houses, it’s incumbent upon us to reach a more thorough understanding of what’s so often missing in their design and construction—and the extent to which good architects can improve them and, in turn, our lives. #ForbesTopArchitects
