Involve facility management from pre-design phase for optimal operation. Comprehensive carbon footprint assessments allow for the identification of both direct and indirect emissions, enabling targeted strategies to reduce overall environmental impact. Incorporating facility management expertise early in the design phase can optimize building performance and ensure that sustainability features are effectively utilized throughout the building's lifecycle. Emphasizing a lifecycle approach helps in understanding the environmental impact of a building from design through demolition, ensuring sustainable practices are integrated at every stage. Involve facility management from pre-design phase for optimal operation. “It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done. The planet is suffering. We seriously need to do something about it. So all of you that are jumping in the green building movement just keep focused, try your best to reverse the harm that has been done over the past years, and always be positive. Also, travel. I think by traveling, you get so many ideas and you get to see what other countries are doing. And it helps a lot in focusing and seeing things from a different perspective.” -Olga Itsiou    Show Resource and Information Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.

Richard Gamble believes God has given him a mission: to build a huge national monument, made from a million bricks, each representing an answered Christian prayer. It seems an impossible task for a sports chaplain who has no experience of construction. And yet over the past eight years, he's managed to pull together a project team, raise thousands of pounds and launch a global design competition with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). But before a single brick can be laid, they need to secure a site to lay it. Richard hopes lie in the Edmistons - a family multimillionaires and evangelical Christians, who own extensive land in the West Midlands. Will his hopes be realised? Will he find a home for the Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer? Producer: Becca Bryers

It's that time of year at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) where the candidate nominations in the current elections have been announced and hustings are in place. For the few engaged RIBA members, this is an important moment that could invoke change. Equally, there are many members who perhaps have grown tired and jaded with the institute as of late and elections feel pretty pointless. Why do I say that? A bold claim? Well, the last election the turnout was just 13.2 percent. And to be honest, I can understand why - I've never felt compelled to vote historically before. Well, it's time that you and I need to wake up as it's a little bit different this year. Yes, that's right, in this election, there are three candidates running for the presidency. Two established and respected members of the RIBA council and board as well as a promising outsider called Muyiwa Oki. Who is Muyiwa Oki, what are his beliefs and why is he running this year? It's a good question, join me in an informal conversation to find out why should you vote this year if you've never voted before and ask him any questions.

US President Joe Biden signed an executive order on December 8 outlining a multi-billion-dollar plan for the federal government to achieve ‘net zero' by 2050, The Verge reports. Under the plan, the US government will switch to electric vehicles, upgrade federal buildings, and use the power of the government to shift to cleaner forms of electricity. The government will stop purchasing petrol-powered passenger cars in 2027 but would only achieve 100 percent electric vehicle purchases by 2035. Biden's order will direct the government to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 65 percent by the end of the decade before reaching full carbon neutrality by 2050.

In this episode, I speak with Charlie Edmonds, co-founder of the Future Architects Front (FAF).  In the last year, the FAF and Charlie have been making waves in the field of Architecture raising massive awareness around the exploitation of architectural assistants in the UK. His campaign started as an Instagram poll and transformed into a national survey that was headed by the Architects' Journal. As a result of his whistleblowing campaign and continual social media activism, the Architectural Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) initiated institutional and systematic changes to address the issues and mistreatment experienced by those at the bottom of the profession.  "Future Architects Front are an informal organisation of young architectural practitioners and students. We are a fully independent group and exist beyond the pressures and interests of architectural practice, education, and media. We operate in a number of different capacities, from research to activism to quasi-political campaigning. FAF was created and is run by Charlie Edmonds and Priti Mohandas, British designers and researchers. The pair met and began the work of FAF while conducting their Master's in Architecture and Urban Design at the University of Cambridge."

En esta sesión tuvimos la presentación de la profesora de Teoría de la Arquitectura de la Universidad de Manchester, Albena Yaneva, titulada: «La nueva arquitectura de la ciencia. Aproximaciones, problematizaciones y posibilidades». Albena ha trabajado en la Escuela de Arquitectura de Princeton y en Parsons, y ha estado a cargo de la prestigiosa cátedra Lise Meitner en Lund, Suecia. Su investigación transdisciplinar ha sido premiada por el Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) y cruza los límites de los estudios de la ciencia y tecnología, la antropología cognitiva, la teoría de la arquitectura y la filosofía política. En su presentación, Albena mostró su aproximación etnográfica al Instituto Nacional del Grafeno de Manchester para reflexionar sobre cómo la arquitectura reafirma su autoridad epistémica sobre la ciencia aplicada. Mediante diferentes viñetas, Albena nos muestra que las diferentes disposiciones espaciales del edificio de este instituto, median y aceleran los diversos ritmos del trabajo en el laboratorio. Examinando cómo el diseño responde a las diversas aplicaciones de la investigación del grafeno, se trazará las principales características del “laboratorio híbrido”, entendido como una articulación espacial única de una nueva cultura de la innovación. Comentó la presentación el arquitecto Pedro Alonso, doctor en arquitectura por la Architectural Association de Londres y actualmente profesor asociado en la Universidad Católica de Chile en Santiago. En 2014, su pabellón Monolith Controversies, co-curado con Hugo Palmarola, obtuvo el León de Plata en la 14a Bienal de Arquitectura de Venecia.

We also talk a little bit about his most favorite project he has ever done up to date, and how he started his own studio. He tells me about what his office is mainly about, context, research, and looking at proposals for affordable housing. We talk a lot about housing in general, how getting to the root of the problem, to governmental policies, is his main focus and how he aims to bring better understanding and knowledge to this topic in his home country, India. Finally, he opens up about some of his struggles and disappointments throughout the career, letting everyone know that struggles or failures are merely just notices that you're going in the right direction. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Welcome to Visionaries, a podcast dedicated to futurological thinkers brought to you by Future Human and the V&A. We seek out people who are reimagining innovation in their field and ask them to apply their intelligence to emerging trends. Claire Jamieson is a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) thinktank ‘Building Futures’. Building Futures are a group of experts who research long term scenarios for the architectural industry, projecting how buildings and urban spaces will change as a result of social, technological, demographic and environmental changes. Is the core remit of architecture moving away from building design towards anticipating the demands of a future society? And if so, how will architects reorganise their practises to serve these needs, and balance them with commercial imperatives? Presented by Ben Beaumont-Thomas.
