It's awesome to see this hit the shelves, I contributed to a refurbishment chapter, and it was a great experience to work with @nic_crawley on it. #engineeredtimber #structuraltimber #retrofit #circulareconomy
This was written to help everyone on a project team. Huge thanks to all involved in bringing this together inc' @AHMMarchitects, the great team @RIBABook plus so many other designers and specialists who shared projects, knowledge and lessons learnt (sometimes the hard way).
I just signed a @theactionnet petition: Limit the Carbon Footprint of Construction . Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/…
What a project! The ideas and innovations discussed in our charrettes are inspiring. Structural challenges in all directions and on every gridline and we are researching the appropriate local timber to be used for each situation whitbywood.com/university-of…
The most beautiful, devastating, inspiring, educational and hopeful film I’ve ever watched. Everyone needs to watch this, the most important issue of our time.
Wisdom-let’s learn from our elders, it’s how we became intelligent in the first place

This is fantastic, one of the ways the IPCC propose to combat climate change is to create carbon stores in our cities by building with sustainably forested timber. France have already started. #climatecrisis #htstimberfocus globalconstructionreview.com…
This morning I booked a flight with @Finnair, they automatically directed me to a carbon offset programme. I was delighted to pay it back! That was 59% of my annual allowance in one long weekend...#climateemergency #engineersdeclare #architectsdeclare

An article from 1912. Just one century, not a few... #climatecrisis #climateemergency #engineersdeclare #architectsdeclare
Reforestation could absorb 2/3 of the carbon we need. If growing for a use, timber construction and encapsulating carbon in our cities too, we have an incentive for governments to act...

What an incredible scheme, all timber buildings, biodiversity, social hub. How to combat climate change, create carbon storing and absorbing developments with a social agenda! #HTSTimberfocus #timberengineering @HTS_London #climstecrisis #engineersdeclare designboom.com/architecture/…

We absolutely have to target embodied carbon as well as operational. They should be held in the same regard in BREEAM @BRE_BREEAM #ClimateEmergency @HTS_London #engineersdeclare #architectsdeclare @RIBA_London
Forget 2030. The Royal Institute of British Architects, @RIBA releases sustainable outcomes guide, concludes we have to move faster at cutting operating and embodied carbon. "This is our last chance to avert a climate disaster. We must act now." treehugger.com/green-archite…

This year I judged the AJAwards, heritage category. I had tours of fantastic buildings and thank everyone involved.
@AlexandraPalace was announced as the winner last night. Congrats @feildencleggbradley for a sympathetic restoration which it must have been a joy to be part of
Last night I had a tour of the new English National Ballet building. What a space! So much versatility and functionality in design. Thank you @nlalondon @ballymore @Glenn_Howells
