Alex’s talk will set out the polemical of his recent book ‘Towards a Resilient Architecture’, which considers how we can create sustainable designs which promote social equity, whilst working within our planet’s limits. Using key examples of built and unbuilt projects by the practice, the discussion will explore the interconnected social, sustainable, and spatial principles that underpin the design of more inclusive and environmentally conscientious buildings and places.
