Environmental challenges are arguably one of the greatest issues facing humanity, and for architects there is an ever-growing requirement to design with sustainability in mind. As a result, in this issue we are focusing on projects that put sustainability at their heart.
One of the most high-profile green schemes of late has been Zaha Hadid Architects’ stadium design for British football club Forest Green Rovers. We speak to both the client and designer to discover how the wooden stadium could impact such design.
Over in Qingdao, China, environmental projects are being taken to another level, with the development of Asia’s largest passive house development. We speak to the architect, Wolfgang Frey, to discover the prospects and challenges of passive house design.
Plus, we consider what architects can learn from the results of a recently published RIBA survey into working with construction clients, and hear from the Architects Council of Europe about improving building performance.
