‘Knowing what guidance to follow, for tackling carbon emissions, and when to use it is a challenge the built environment sector.’   In ‘Smart Architecture to Reduce Whole-life Carbon in Building and Infrastructure’, published in The Routledge Companion to Smart Design Thinking in Architecture & Urbanism, Paul Toyne writes about the imperative to take a holistic system thinking approach to built environment solutions to the climate challenge. Minoro — launched in 2024 and developed by Grimshaw in collaboration with the WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development, RIBA, Architecture 2030, the World Green Building Council and several national Green Building Councils across the globe — is a step towards this, centralising the advice, guidance and methodology to help reduce whole life carbon across project life cycle for new and existing buildings across the world. ‘Understanding the interconnectedness of resilience, health and well-being, biodiversity and planetary boundaries with net-zero carbon in the built environment will be essential so that future investments can deliver co-benefits across all issues for us, nature and the restoration of Earth.’   Find out more about the publication here → https://lnkd.in/efPpeFBb

Retour sur l'Exposition d'Architecture et d'Ingénierie de la semaine dernière à la Résidence de l'Ambassadeur britannique à Paris, organisée par le Département Commercial de l'Ambassade du Royaume-Uni — ce fut un honneur et un plaisir de faire partie de cette exposition et de ce cycle de conférences soigneusement conçu.

Grimshaw’s eight studios operate in cities where the celebration of the Lunar New Year is an important event for citizens, clients and our people. We mark the new year, the passing from last Year of the Dragon to this new Year of the Snake in Chinese astrology, bringing wisdom, transformation and intuitive energy.

This Friday, Camila Rock De Luigi, Associate Principal at Grimshaw, will join Professor Des Fagan from Lancaster University to present 'AI:Lab - Artificial Intelligence for Low Carbon Building' at AI & Architecture Summit 2025: Sustainability. Presenting the results of a groundbreaking collaboration between Grimshaw and Lancaster University, Camila will showcase how AI can drive innovation in reducing carbon footprints and foster sustainable building solutions. The summit will bring together industry leaders to discuss innovation in net zero carbon built environment design and consider in practice adoption of the technology and tools for smart, sustainable and regenerative-led buildings.

Grimshaw and Mott MacDonald are leading JFK International Airport's transformative master plan to create a world-class aviation hub. The comprehensive redevelopment includes new terminal complexes on the south and north sides, respectively. The project features a centralized ground transportation center, reimagined road networks, and enhanced connectivity to Manhattan. #Avation #Airports #Infrastructure #WorldClass #GlobalGateway

The Royal Albert Hall x Grimshaw Foundation programme, 'Performance. Architecture. Design.’ (PAD) has won a TET (ThorntonEducationTrust) Inspire Future Generations Award in the Children Long Term Programme category!   The awards recognise organisations working with children and young people, to engage them in advocating for a better built environment, and it’s an honour to be recognised for PAD, which was led with the support of Urban Learners in 2024.   Over six months the programme worked with 160 students, and the Hall's Associate Artists — Rhael 'LionHeart' Cape Hon FRIBA, Anna Lapwood, Jess Gillam, and Corey Baker — to introduce, engage, and immerse engage young people in creative thinking, making and learning and expose them to the opportunities in creative professions. The culmination was a Big Build Day where eight different installations, designed as performance spaces, were constructed at the Royal Albert Hall.   It’s fantastic to be part of these awards that promote the commitment in the industry to closing the gap between architecture and education, encouraging a diversity of thought and inclusion through activity, collaboration and research. Congratulations to all the other winners → https://lnkd.in/dxExx3M2   And thank you and congratulations to the amazing group of students who took part in PAD, the inspiring Royal Albert Hall Associate Artists, and to all our volunteers from Mott MacDonald, AKT II, Hoare Lea, SHH Architecture & Interiors, Exterior Architecture Ltd, MICA Architects, Momentum Transport Consultancy, and ING Media.    Find out more here → https://lnkd.in/ezQqfW99

‘Smart Cities require smart governance.’   The Routledge Companion to Smart Design Thinking in Architecture & Urbanism, edited by Dr. Mitra Kanaani - Architectural Doctorate - Arch. D., has been published, with the chapter ‘From Smart to Autonomous Cities on the Eve of AI’ authored by Andrew Whalley OBE, Tim Williams and Andy Watts.   With digital tools in architecture and urban design yet to be fully exploited, Andrew, Tim and Andy consider the implications of generative AI on the future of our cities and their development, and its impact on the architecture and urban design profession. The risks and opportunity of advanced digital technology — the power of data — need to be balanced, demand private and public sector collaboration, ethical accountability, and a strong commitment to ensuring the technological transformation in our cities is focused on shaping and creating equitable, healthy and successful places.   ‘There is no better time to begin laying the foundation for limitless innovation in the interest of all.’ Find out more about the publication here → https://lnkd.in/efPpeFBb #AI #Architecture #DesignThinking
