Climate movement wants to make sharing best practice easy
Architects Declare, the climate movement begun by 17 Stirling Prize winners, has published a practical guide to designing sustainable projects and transforming practices.
Launched to coincide with the start of the COP26 global summit in Glasgow, it contains more than 60 exemplar projects from practices in the UK and abroad.
Developed by volunteers and reviewed by experts, it is intended to help practices that have declared a climate and biodiversity emergency to convert that into meaningful action and build momentum within their practice.
It is intended to be a forum for sharing knowledge and research on an open-source basis and will be updated as understanding of the crisis develops and as industry innovates new solutions.
The first part of the guide is a roadmap providing five steps to transforming a practice.
The second part is a project design guide focused on the fundamentals of truly sustainable design.
It was launched at last week’s Built Environment Summit, organised by the RIBA in association with Architects Declare, by Tara Gbolade of Gbolade Design Studio, a member of the Architects Declare steering group.
她感谢了那些做出贡献的人，她说:“去年，我们的签署人告诉我们，他们希望《建筑师宣言》不仅仅是一个宣言的时刻。他们想要一个支持性的网络来解决这段旅程中知识和方向的缺乏。”
Ben Derbyshire是RIBA的前任主席，他说:“大多数的建筑实践都是小型企业，对于他们来说，创建一个零碳运营的路线图和监测进展是一个严重的挑战，在项目交付的日常专注之上。
“Equally, guiding our clients towards the right carbon-cutting decisions in the cost-conscious and risk-averse world of development is a tough ask. So the practical guidance from the Architects Declare guide as a growing knowledge platform is a real boon for those of us wrestling with the issues.”
建筑事务所Declare于2019年由Haworth Tompkins的Steve Tompkins和Exploration Architecture的Michael Pawlyn成立，所有获得斯特林奖的实践都成为创始签署人。
It now has more than 1,000 members and is part of the wider global Built Environment Declares movement which has representation in 27 countries.
Cecilia Sundstrom of David Chipperfield Architects said: “Architects Declare has given fresh impetus to our internal programme of exchange and debate through a series of open forums, reviews and workshops focused on sustainability. These discussions have been invaluable in engaging staff, critically assessing our work and have allowed exciting design opportunities to emerge.”
