What does it take to design a building fa?ade that lasts a century? Episode 7 of AESG’s #FutureFocus Series dives into the answers! Join Marina Kindelan Calvo, Director of Facades for the Middle East at AESG, as she shares her insights on designing future-proof facades for the buildings of tomorrow. The challenge? Moving beyond today’s needs to create facades that are ready to adapt, upgrade, and evolve for the next 50 to 100 years. In a world where carbon footprint is at the forefront, it's time to think beyond operational carbon — and focus on embodied carbon. Marina explores how fa?ades must adapt over time, upgrade with new materials to enhance performance, and even transform entire buildings — like office-to-residential conversions.

The United Nations’ annual climate change conference COP29 Azerbaijan gets underway in Baku next week with the slogan ‘In solidarity for a green world’ that reflects the spirit of its mission. The urgent need for a green and circular economy could not be more pronounced. In Episode 6 of AESG’s #FutureFocus series our Senior Sustainability Associate – Sarah Jaber highlights the value of the circular economy in it’s ability to not just conserve natural resources but also drive economic value resulting in reduced cost as well as newly created business opportunities. Construction and demolition waste constitutes around 70% of the total solid waste generated in the UAE. Not only is this a financial and environmental burden from a waste management perspective, it also means that all resources and the capital being put into buildings is ending up in landfill. A common misconception is to look at recycling as the only solution. While this might slow down the supply chain loop,?it doesn’t fully close it. So, how can we truly implement circular economy strategies in the built environment? What if we could reuse or refurbish existing buildings instead? Can innovative solutions like modular construction, reversible bonding, lifecycle assessments, and building passports transform the way we think about buildings? Watch the full video to discover how together we can apply circular economy principles. No matter your role in the built environment, let’s maximise the value of our buildings for the future by turning waste into wealth. #FutureFocus #COP29 #CircularEconomy #SustainabilityConsutlants #EPD #HPD #ESG #LifeCycleAssessments #AESG
