Ethics + Agency Research: Waste

Roughly half of the raw materials we extract go into the world’s built environment. Construction creates an estimated third of the world's overall waste, and at least 40% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. 

Waste can take other forms than purely material and is often intangible. It is generated at every stage of a project’s life cycle. From city wide planning policy to the manufacture and specification of materials and products. Through all stages of design, procurement and assembly to deconstruction. 

Inefficiencies of space, time, energy, money and other resources all contribute heavily to the impact that a project has on the environment but also to the success of a practice. 

The Future is Small

Part of the The Future is Now online lecture series supported by Reading University Architecture Society. Other speakers include: Dr. Joan Clos former Executive Director of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme, Dr. Harriet Harriss Dean of the Pratt School of Architecture and Carl Turner founder of Turner Works.

HNNA Director Hannah Corlett was guest speaker for the Architecture foundation series, Architecture on Stage, which profiles some of the most exciting emerging architects working in Britain today. 

Each of the invited practices presented a single project from a particular view point, offering a broad panorama of the concerns of the emerging generation of British architects.

Hannah discussed issues of tolerance and efficiency in relation to the Design District.
