And just like that, 2022 is coming to an end. As quickly as it went by, this year was equally prolonged by many of the same issues that have plagued the world over the last couple of years. In addition to the ongoing pandemic, which society is still adjusting to, we have been witness to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, its economic repercussions, a surge in inflation, increased climate change-related disasters, and more regressive politics.

These modernist developments are his only UK works, and all have Grade II listings and cult status among design fans. The late Anglo-American architect – who was born in Utica, New York State – is most famous for his 1978 brutalist Alexandra Estate in Camden , formed of terraced apartments in ziggurat shapes decked with lush greenery.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.

It is a full-fledged replacement for wood and keeps all of its benefits. The decision to use bonded beams as a building material is entirely dependent on personal preference, cost, and style.
