Internationally acclaimed architect and Australian Institute of Architects’ 2022 Gold Medallist, Sean Godsell, will embark on a national speaking tour next month with climate change key to his agenda.
We are disappointed that a long term vision and sense of urgency for the two biggest issues affecting the nation’s built environment – climate change and the housing-affordability crisis – is not shared by all parties.
We have called for all political parties to commit to greater investment in carbon-reduction initiatives to accelerate Australia’s transition to a net-zero economy.
Architects are, to varying degrees, changing their processes and priorities to create more sustainable designs. But it can be difficult to get clients and others on board. Here, members of the profession explain how they are approaching this issue and discuss the best ways to move the industry forward.
One of the key aspects of elevating the conversation from sustainability to climate change is to shift the thinking from what is feasible to what is necessary to avoid catastrophic changes to the environment.
Understand the built environment global warming impacts and learn how LCA tools are used to achieve reductions in building upfront /embodied carbon at design stage through low carbon material selection.

In this mini episode of the Hearing Architecture podcast we speak with Andrew Walter about designing for carbon neutrality in the age of climate change.
The built environment is one of the biggest contributors to climate change. We’ve known for a long time about these impacts and that the way architects design directly affects how
