SDG Pavilions Talk: The climate footprint of buildings is a design problem

 

Trimble SketchUp presents an afternoon to explore how the built environment can lower carbon impact at the SDG pavilion 'From 4to 1Planet' during the UIA World Congress of Architects.

In Denmark, natural resources are exploited four times over what our planet can provide, including materials and energy used to design, build and occupy our homes.

Join Trimble SketchUp i n a discussion followed b ydrinks with ReVark, CINARK and Tegnestuen LOKAL- the architecture practices and education centre contributing to the "From 4 to 1 Planet" pavilions.

The talk, moderated by architecture and design journalist and editor Amy Frearson, "The climatefootprint of buildings is a design problem: it's time architects dealt with it" will explore tangible ways in which the next generation of architects can reduce their climate impact.

Location: Soren Kierkegaards Plads

Date & Time: 4th of July, 4pm - 5.30pm (16.00 - 17.30)

RSVP: The event is public and FREE, but limited seats are available and will be given on a first come, first served basis

The initiative

The initiative Housing construction from 4 to 1 planet has been launched with a clear goal of reducing the climate footprint of new-built homes by 75 percent. Through two open calls, the initiative has requested completely new solutions, methods, materials and approaches to achieve this significant CO2 reduction. In the call "Next Generation Architecture", three winning proposals have gone further and must now construct and concretize their concept further. This is done through three pavilions, which exhibit and tell about the way to a much greener housing construction, where the material consumption is kept within the planetary limits.
