• Resumen

  • In this article, Peter Laidler describes his small practice’s experience of responding to the climate emergency by seeking to minimise upfront carbon and maximise material utilisation in its structural designs, as well as encouraging retrofi t and reuse.

    The practice has developed a simple carbon calculator in order to integrate embodied carbon calculations into standard design procedures.
