Join the Events Panel on the Thursday 2 October 2024 for a London Sustainable Architecture Tour.
As architects step up to one of the greatest challenges in history, namely sustainability, we look at the buildings pioneering our transition to a green future. Buildings use an estimated forty percent of our global energy needs so come and examine the sustainable features of some of London’s most iconic skyscrapers.
From energy and water savings to carbon-free commuting and renewable materials, both the construction and operations of buildings are examined. This is an exciting time for engineers and architects who are considering brand new solutions and combining the latest in innovative design and exciting new technology.
With many factors at play, the challenges faced by architects in London are unique. The City of London hosts some of London’s most recognisable and impressive skyscrapers but also upholds some of the world’s tightest planning regulations. How are the leading “starchitects” of our times balancing these challenges?
We examine some of the capital’s most distinctive towers which boast green credentials and explore how the built environment is adapting to the needs of our time.
