Many of the current efforts to mitigate climate change and its effects rely on digital solutions. But what would our designs for landscapes and buildings of the future look like if we slowed down and paid more attention to the traditional knowledge that humans have acquired over millennia?

Human consumption far oversteps planetary boundaries. Limiting consumption and economic growth seems like an obvious strategy for cutting emissions and protecting the environment. Alessio Terzi explains why degrowth is not feasible for achieving our sustainability targets.

Digitalisation is crucial for making construction more sustainable and circular. But the sector is slow to digitalise its processes and often relies on fragmented data.

Human habitats and their infrastructure require a lot of space and resources. Could mixed reality help architects and engineers build spaces that put less pressure on our urban environments?

Life cycle assessments (LCAs) are necessary for understanding the environmental impacts of buildings. André Stephan researches how to scale up life cycle assessments so that they can be used to better understand the carbon footprint of the construction sector.
