ABSTRACT
Identifying a problem ‘. . . par le milieu’ 1 In 2007/8 I acted as Project Architect for a proposed apartment block situated on the English Channel. This was one of many schemes in which I noted a clear discrepancy between the way members of the design and development team formed assessments and decisions as part of the design process, and the way an appointed sustainability assessor judged those decisions. The following overview of the scheme illustrates this discrepancy and why I believe it to be problematic and worth pursuing as a line of enquiry.
