Architects can – and must be – part of the radical change needed, and we must understand the impact of local decisions on the global scale. This book guides you as an architecture student to create truly sustainable designs, reflecting the urgent need for action. It tackles the quadruple challenges of the climate emergency: Adapting to a changing climate Climate change mitigation Creating a positive and restorative design Improving climate justice locally and globally. Focussing on holistic design approaches through 10 key themes, it will help you integrate into your design projects consistently high values from all areas of sustainable architecture. Structured around the different stages of the design process through five illustrated chapters, it highlights what you need to consider when developing a project and when to think about it.
