Recently, Steven also obtained a Diploma in Advanced Architectural Studies (The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, University College London).
Instead of breaking components into smaller pieces and recycling the individual materials, reusing a component in its primary form has a higher value for sustainable construction.It results in fewer modifications, and less manufacturing and construction.
This uses fewer materials, less energy and minimises environmental impacts.The value of the item is retained with the potential to reuse it again in the future.This enables circular principles to continue in the future.. Design for optimisation.
Sustainable construction increases the lifespan of buildings through flexible and adaptable design.When designing new or refurbished buildings we must plan for the unexpected.
Buildings need to be able to adapt for future uses and by designing this in from the start we will use fewer materials in the future..
The façade has a shorter life expectancy than the rest of a building due to the nature of the materials used, exposure to the elements and the impact of UV light.In 2022, he co-authored the RIBA-published book:.Graham is a Technical Director responsible for the management of projects from inception to handover..
