The architectural community is very upset about climate change. They have banded together and done a petition and everything. Problem is, all the big name practices that started it are using a hell of a lot of concrete and building beautiful airports and energy-guzzling skyscrapers. Also, some architects went along to Waterloo bridge and joined a protest party but what did it achieve? It’s high time we made a difference as an industry but actions speak louder than words and buildings can make more of a statement than statements alone.

Speakers:

Jan-Carlos Kucharek, RIBAJ (Chair)
Julia Barfield, Marks Barfield
Paul Finch, World Architecture Festival
Maria Smith, Interrobang
Tom Bennett, Studio Bark
