Award-winning design agency Nomaji Landscape Architects Ltd calls for sustainable design and construction. The ecological situation demands a rapid change of behaviour and the time for waiting is over: cities must be designed sustainable. 🏙️ 🌳 – We cannot afford to remain silent any longer and wait for things to improve. We need to change mindsets and ways of doing things quickly so that future generations can have the conditions for a good life, CEO of Nomaji Anni Järvitalo sums up. Fortunately, good examples of sustainable urban planning can be found. For instance, the cities of Helsinki and Espoo have introduced a green factor in their urban planning to ensure that sufficient green space is retained on plots. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dqcrNSUU #HelsinkiSmart #urbanplanning #landuseplanning #sustainability #design #Nomaji

Sustainable Building: Minimising Environmental Impact When it comes to building, the most environmentally responsible option is always to leave the landscape untouched. Simply put, the greenest way to build is to have no building at all. However, when development is needed, the most environmentally conscious solution lies in repurposing existing structures. At Thembela Architects, this principle informs our vision of revitalising the Gqeberha city centre. Renovating key landmark buildings, like the Old Breweries Building, reduces the environmental impact on our city, while conserving resources, minimising waste, lowering the demand for new materials and lowering carbon emissions associated with new construction. It also has the added benefit of preserving the city’s architectural heritage. We follow the principle of ‘step lightly on this earth’ and support new-use building. #Thembela #ThembelaArchitects #Architects #DesignThatMatters #Architecture #UrbanRenewal #Gqeberha #InnerCitySpaces

Green architecture is the way forward. With concrete and construction contributing so much to the rise in temperature and climate change, we need to go back to traditional building materials that do not produce so much CO2 to manufacture and do not heat up the world just by existing. Mud architecture, and green buildings are two of the ways forward. Here is a building that is built covered in trees in Düsseldorf. I often talk of learning from others and selecting the best ideas and technology to replicate. This is something I would be glad to see in India. 🍀 Innovative Greening in Düsseldorf! The Kö-Bogen II in Düsseldorf, Germany, was designed by the renowned German architect Christoph Ingenhoven and his firm, Ingenhoven Architects.
