A SEDA Solar Event
Venue: Online
Ticket Price: £6 – Non-member | £3 – Member/Student/Concession
Sustainable architecture has been focused, over these last 40 years, on performance and efficiency: Architects aim to deliver a recognizable product, albeit with a more efficient mode of operation. A sustainable building performs better, marginally or only under optimal conditions. Yet, carbon emissions continue to rise. Sustainable architecture based on efficiency measures and metrics has not worked.
The challenge to architecture is to move away from efficiency towards sufficiency, which consumes less energy and resources in absolute terms. In this lecture, Professor Daniel Barber will share his deep insight on historical precedents to sufficiency issues in architecture, as opposed to the efficiency imperative of sustainability.
The session will be moderated by Prof Colin Porteous.
