Aston University is embarking on its "most radical estates strategy for over ten years" 🎓   Our Project Management, Building Services Engineering and Health and Safety teams are helping to create more flexible and agile spaces through a project to transform and redevelop the main building, which currently accounts for 75% of the teaching space. The new design will improve accessibility to the main entrance, provide coherent landscaping and enhance the quality of the environment.     The drivers behind the project include providing a strategic identity of ‘Urban University’ - blurring the boundaries between campus and city.     The plans have been recommended for approval and will be considered by Birmingham City Council’s planning committee from today.    Read more here 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/d6aPiX3V    Image credit: Robothams Architects   Matthew Winn MRICS | Matt Summerill | Hannah Jones MRICS | Max Davison   #AstonUniversity #Birmingham #Planning #ProjectManagement #University #Estates

Retrofitting is more than just a technical upgrade - it’s a transformative approach to creating a greener, healthier, and more equitable housing landscape 🌍     Retrofitting the UK’s housing is vital for reducing carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency, and achieving net zero targets by 2050. It addresses fuel poverty by lowering energy bills, enhances living conditions by creating warmer, healthier homes, and preserves the integrity of historic properties. Retrofitting also boosts the economy by generating jobs and driving innovation in green technologies while easing pressure on the energy grid and future-proofing homes against climate change. Overall, it’s a key step toward a more sustainable housing future.     We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Retrofit Lead to Ridge, Neb Augustinov. Neb brings with him a strong focus on decarbonisation and a wealth of experience, having played a pivotal role in some of the UK’s most ambitious retrofit projects. Welcome to #TeamRidge!     Read about Neb’s appointment here 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/ekRwvnZX    #Retrofit #NewHire #Decarbonisation #UKHousing #NetZero

We’ve teamed up with Henley Halebrown for this year’s The Gingerbread City. A feast for the eyes, this gingerbread community is an opportunity for leading architects and designers to show off new concepts for city planning and to think about how existing buildings can be repurposed and revived for the future. This year’s gingerbread metropolis, with a theme of ‘Recycled City, was created by over 50 architects and engineers, all brought together by the Museum of Architecture. We ditched conventional building materials in favour of spiced dough and sugar, to construct a stack of gingerbread cottages inspired by Herzog and De Meuron’s Vitrahaus in Weil am Rhein. To align with the ‘Recycled City’ theme, our design addresses The Circular Economy Paradox and how we can look at our cities as material stores for the future and give materials a resource passport. For our gingerbread cottages, the existing materials gathered have either been altered, refinished, or resized but not reprocessed - second hand sweets have been gathered and existing gingerbread kits sourced. The apparent minimalism of the real-world example is counteracted with stacking on colourful sweets, formerly for Halloween now adapted and reused as Christmas decorations. You can visit the Gingerbread City until 29 December, for tickets, clink here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dktqDwp Tom Bishop | Claudia Schenk | Jennifer Pirie Photographs by Luke O'Donovan   #TheGingerbreadCity2024 #GingerbreadHouse #Architecture #UrbanDesign #UrbanPlanning
