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

Infrastructure specialists, architects, engineers and public stakeholders, I humbly think this is the way forward to reduce our activities' environmental impact : - footbridges made of timber (carbon storage), - footbridges made of prestressed structural stone (yes you need to bring the material on site with quite a few trucks but apart from that - that sounds almost low-tech to me) - footbridges made of reused steel profiles (probably the most ambitious solution due to the uncertainty of the base material, but also, maybe, the most efficient !) I think we all should be inspired by these daring propositions, and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the proposed designs as they unveil ! for me, they all stand out at great and good looking examples of the future of infrastructure!

The role of the architect is about more than designing buildings. Architecture and space are always related to social issues and challenges. This means that architects may be well placed to contribute to the public debate on challenges that also will have a spatial impact: climate change, mobility issues, the housing crisis, healthcare and migration. This issue of OASE explores the possible roles of architects as public intellectuals and the ways in which they can contribute to society beyond design.

For World Engineering Day, These 6 Bridges Stand as Examples of the Complexities Underneath Every Design These six highlighted bridges provide examples of remarkable design standards and engineering practices while, in some instances, setting records and starting off new precedents for incorporating alternative materials, the conditions of a circular economy, aesthetic variance, building science, low-carbon construction methods and more.
