‘We should never forget the power of the individual’: How can we all play a part in creating a more sustainable future by making changes in our everyday lives? Find out in this week’s ‘Sandbox’ FOMO5... One of the key takeaways from ‘Sandbox’ so far, is the power of the individual to collectively help mitigate the impact of climate change. Our latest episode - ‘Life’s essentials: Water, Power and Plants’, covers unmissable moments explored in each episode so far, from why we’ve got to where we are now, what local authorities, professionals and even the individual can contribute to improving the situation we find ourselves in. From water butts to adding more plants in our homes, our experts and guests examine and propose potential solutions to the various challenges we face today. This episode features all our Buro Happold experts; Technical Director Duncan Ker-Reid and Associate Louise Clarke, Biodiversity lead Aaron Grainger, and Partner Colin Byrne, and cities energy Associate Directors Ben Jones and Maddie McTaggart. Our external guests include Dr. Tom McNamara - leading scientist and founder of FreeUP, Tamsin Westhorpe, horticulturalist and leading figure in garden media, as well as an RHS Judge - and finally, Professor Iwan Rhys Morus - author, science historian and professor of history at Aberystwyth University. And of course, this episode features our regular host, Andy Duncan, who said, “we should never forget the power of the individual, and local community action – lead by example, listen to what our experts are saying, there’s always something, however small, that we can all contribute to make things just that little bit better.” Listen to the full FOMO5 using the links below and find all episodes on the usual podcast platforms.

Buro Happold supported Kingswood Preparatory School, in Bath, to expand its facilities with a focus on low carbon materials and environmental sustainability. We advised across a range of disciplines for the planning and construction of two new buildings – a 1,500m², two-storey teaching cluster and sports hall and a 330m² nursery/reception block. Our multidisciplinary team worked closely with Stonewood Design to deliver the client’s aspiration for modern, welcoming buildings that not only preserve Kingswood’s unique identity but also fit sympathetically into the surrounding landscape.

At Buro Happold you shape the environment for future generations and are part of a wider vision characterised by sustainability, diversity and equity. It's your chance to make a real difference. Take for example our colleague Marina Nikolić, who joined us in Munich as office manager. As the only person without an engineering background, she took care of our Munich office and the colleagues on site. She was looking for a new challenge within the company and was able to pursue her desire to switch to our sustainability team. Now, she is a Net Zero Consultant for all our European locations, advancing the implementation of our sustainability goals. She emphasises that this topic comes with great responsibility for herself and the entire industry – a goal that we can only achieve together. What will your Buro Happold journey look like?

A multidisciplinary team from across Buro Happold played a key role in the realisation of Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium at White Hart Lane. As part of the landmark redevelopment of the site, Buro Happold was also appointed to provide structural, MEP and facade engineering advice in relation to the Grade II-listed Warmington House, one of the best kept examples of Georgian construction in London. Warmington House was in the Heritage At Risk register before this transformational project fully restored the fabric and facades of the historic building and integrated it sympathetically into the new development.

‘Sandbox’ so far: Revisiting thought-provoking ideas on what could be done to roll back some of the negative impact human activity has had on the Earth’s ecosystem... Over the last three episodes, we have explored some of the main aspects of the fundamentals of life within the built environment; from water and its management in the UK, to biodiversity and re-greening our cities, and finally, to our third episode, which explores energy sources. The panels discussed what has led us to this crucial turning point, and what the future of truly sustainable energy could look like, without further damaging the only planet we have! Our latest episode ‘Life’s Essentials: Water, Power and Plants’ covers unmissable moments explored in each episode so far, from why we’ve got to where we are now, what local authorities, professionals and even the individual can contribute to improving the situation we find ourselves in now. We each have a certain responsibility in this process, even tiny changes of habits build exponentially with more people involved. Our experts and guests examine and propose potential solutions to the various challenges we face today. This episode features our Buro Happold experts; Technical Director Duncan Ker-Reid and Associate Louise Clarke, Biodiversity lead Aaron Grainger, and Partner Colin Byrne, and cities energy Associate Directors Ben Jones and Maddie McTaggart. Our external guests include Dr. Tom McNamara - leading scientist and founder of FreeUP, Tamsin Westhorpe, horticulturalist and leading figure in garden media, as well as a RHS Judge - and finally, Professor Iwan Rhys Morus - author, science historian and professor of history. And of course, this episode features our regular host, Andy Duncan, who concludes this episode saying: “With ingenious future thinking and repurposing of the past, we might not be too late. Listen to the episode for all the unmissable moments, we all in this together – whether we work in the built environment or, as individuals want ideas of how we can do our bit to pass this world on to the next generations to create a better world focused on better water management, nature based solutions and more sustainable energy outputs.

Buro Happold helped to create a vision for a sustainable new urban neighbourhood for the Tempelhof quarter of Berlin – developing measures to minimise CO2 emissions and ensure the circular use of resources for the 10-hectare development, which will deliver new housing and modernise and expand public facilities around Tempelhof town hall. The sustainability and urban planning team at Buro Happold compared the environmental impacts of different scenarios over a lifecycle of 50 years. This included a comparison between the benefits of reusing existing structures against demolition with new construction in terms of overall carbon intensity.

Buro Happold is proud to contribute to the first “Industry Collections” list of low-carbon building materials on Europe’s leading materials data platform revalu. A number of companies in the building industry such as architects, planners, developers and contractors were approached to compile a list of nature-based and emerging building materials that they may have already used in projects or materials that they are generally interested in using. Our engineers Joanna Hedley-Smith, Anika Buchmaier and Felicitas L. were involved in the project, with support from Jonathan Roynon, Technical Director at Buro Happold Bath. revalu is an open online materials database. The main goal of the platform is to make data-driven decisions more accessible across the industry, sharing knowledge, references and best practice to accelerate the path towards a low-carbon future. It helps professionals from the building industry who are considering using low-carbon alternatives to conventional building materials to find, compare and specify them. The list launches today and it shows a collection of materials that we have either successfully used in projects or are interested in learning more about in the future. Follow the link to explore: https://lnkd.in/e7-RSkfP And if you are interested in more information about the future of bio-based building materials, we recommend our article "𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗼-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?" https://buro.im/3WZnfhz Image: Mario Hoesel/Adobe Stock Arup | Dissing+Weitling | Henning Larsen | KHR Architecture | Nrep | Søren Jensen #burohappold #engineering #revalu #buildingindustry #materials #construction

Buro Happold’s multidisciplinary team is working closely with architects KPF to support the development of highly flexible designs for One North Quay, which will be Europe’s largest and most technologically advanced commercial speculative life sciences building. This vertical laboratory campus at Canary Wharf sets ambitious sustainability targets and will become an iconic presence at the heart of North Quay. We were engaged to deliver specialist consultancy around building services engineering (MEP), sustainability, ICT and laboratory planning. The development is a joint venture between Canary Wharf Group and specialist laboratory developer Kadans Science Partner. The client wanted the project to be a showcase of sustainability – achieving net zero carbon in line with UKGBC, working to the design-for-performance guidance of NABERS certification for operational energy, as well as meeting all the latest GLA requirements around embodied carbon and circular economy considerations.
