We can overcome this issue by designing flexible buildings, offering future use suitability to a number of different architectural typologies..The benefits of kit-of-parts architecture.

Another benefit of a Platform construction, kit-of-parts, approach is that it’s very deconstructable.We don’t need to use hot welding on-site.We have reversible jointing methods.

This means that the building can be dismantled in pieces, which extends the life of components because of the potential for reuse on the next building.Therefore, construction Platforms include an improvement to efficiency and sustainability across multiple buildings, for years to come..

The future of net zero carbon emissions.

These days there’s a lot of discussion within the sustainable design space about targets for a future net zero state, and how that relates to both operational energy and embodied carbon.The reality is that no matter how much I do personally, on my own, it will have a completely negligible effect on the problem.

UK carbon emissions are less than 1% of global emissions.I am one of 66 million people in the UK.

On the other hand, how can I encourage, debate or support others to reduce their emissions without being willing to act and experience the process myself.Taking the wood out of my own eye before I try to take it out of the eyes of others..
