ABSTRACT
Architecture and (construction are a massive contributor to carbon emissions. And while the profession makes the right sounds – sustainability, zero carbon, LEED – is it doing enough? Jeremy Till, architect, writer, and head of Central Saint Martins, takes a swing at those virtue-signalling architects who trumpet their environmental credentials while continuing to build airports. Instead, Till argues, tackling the climate emergency will require a fundamental restructuring of the profession, the seeds of which he sees in the empathetic and critical work of his students.
