Day 60 of the 100: As we emerge from months of Covid-19 induced lockdown, architects are now open for business again, with the recent increase in job enquiries and construction sites being open perhaps giving us all a reason to feel a bit more positive. However, before we get back to some new form of ‘business as usual’, we should consider that the built environment is responsible for 50% of all global CO2e emissions, consumes 50% of all raw materials harvested annually around the world, and is responsible for 60% (120 million tonnes) of the UK’s annual waste. Duncan Baker Brown, co-founder of BBM Sustainable Design considers solutions to these existential problems.
