?? Why Don’t Airports Last Forever? ?? ? Airports are built to serve for decades, but changing demands and evolving environmental goals mean many don't endure as long as intended. Jorge Gil, Associate at Pascall+Watson Architects, explores key factors that can lead to airport decline or even closure—and what sustainable design can do to extend their life. ? "By preserving existing structures and repurposing materials, we minimise the need for energy-intensive demolition processes and reduce waste sent to landfills. This approach not only conserves valuable resources but also cuts down on carbon emissions associated with the transportation and manufacturing of new materials." ? ?? Interested in the full story? Discover more on how sustainable design impacts airport longevity in Jorge’s full article here: https://lnkd.in/gKjm-z-t ? Stay tuned for more insights from our experts as we continue this thought-leadership series, tackling key issues that shape the future of architecture!

Yesterday we continued learning about the 8 areas of sustainable design. ?? George delivered this month’s presentation which was about Sustainable Connectivity & Transport. ??♂? Transport operational carbon emissions account for approximately 25% of total UK emissions, which is the second highest after buildings. Designing to improve this, is important for the Architecture and construction industry. ?? Reducing carbon emissions associated with transport should consider reducing the need to travel in the first instance. The Sustainable Travel Hierarchy highlights this. We must promote improved digital and physical connectivity of places, which in turn will significantly reduce the need for travel and reduce the length of travel time. Sustainable sites with walkable connectivity to local facilities and good public transport links should be prioritised. ?? Our buildings must support future transport needs, including increased cycling and active travel, improving car sharing infrastructure, and more widespread use of electric and/or hydrogen vehicles. ?? This is something which Dame Sarah Storey is championing throughout Greater Manchester. ?? #transport #architecture #manchester

?? Achieving Sustainability in Architecture ?? Promoting sustainability in our cities has become a pressing need, calling us to rethink how we design buildings and facilities. Thanks to architectural innovations, we can create structures that are not only visually appealing ?? but also contribute to environmental protection ?? and community well-being ??. By adopting solutions like green rooftops ??, renewable energy sources ??, and advanced insulation techniques ??, we can shape future cities that balance environmental, economic, and social aspects. ?? What are your thoughts on developing more sustainable cities for the future ?

This is why design is a responsibility we all have - towards people and the planet. Good design can help us redefine what is normal and shape the future. #sustainability #design

if you plan a city for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. if you plan a city for people and places, you get people and places. Fred Kent.

It's time to reconnect with the past to pave a sustainable future! Our ancestors crafted buildings in harmony with nature, a practice we've drifted away from. Rediscovering these ancient sustainable construction methods could revolutionize our approach, merging tradition with innovation for a sustainable tomorrow. Let's lead the change in #SustainableDevelopment and #AncientWisdom for a resilient, eco-conscious world. ???? #HeritageInConstruction #EcoInnovation

[#BuildingtoNetZero] ??Conservation Meets Innovation: The Future of Buildings?? Ever wondered why repurposing buildings into commercial spaces is such a hot trend? Dr. Johannes WIDODO reveals a compelling reason: conserving our built heritage is more than nostalgia—it's a crucial strategy for tackling climate change! ?? "Conservation is the management of change," he explains. Buildings evolve with time, reflecting the needs of each generation. Emphasizing that repurposing buildings is more sustainable and economically viable than demolition. “Conservation isn’t just about saving the planet; it's also smart business. Dr. Johannes Widodo explains, ‘Incentives work to preserve buildings.’ By repurposing existing structures and incorporating sustainable practices, we can boost our economy while reducing our environmental impact. Conservation and refurbishment of existing buildings is a good example of preserving the embodied carbon, achieving net-zero energy and wellness certification, while conserving the distinctive characteristics of the original building.

The integration of sustainable design and community-centric spaces in tall buildings marks a paradigm shift in urban development. By prioritizing environmental responsibility and fostering social connections, I believe these structures are becoming integral parts of vibrant, resilient cities. As I envision the future of urban living, I see an emphasis on green architecture and community engagement guiding us toward more inclusive, healthier, and environmentally-conscious environments. To me, tall buildings can evolve beyond impressive architectural feats into vital components of a thriving urban ecosystem. Thames City is a prime example of an evolving skyscraper resi-led scheme. Designed not just for functionality, but with an integral focus on community interaction. Shared spaces such as rooftop gardens, communal lounges, and flexible work and play areas are fostering connections among residents, creating a true sense of belonging. In this future, I see tall buildings not only shaping our skylines but also nurturing our communities and protecting our planet, paving the way for a more sustainable and connected urban experience. Peter Jackson of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has written a brilliant thought-provoking piece on the future of tall residential-led buildings, please read below! https://lnkd.in/e9pdZUab
