We learnt from Amateur Architecture, who said ‘we need to be able not to work if the conditions aren’t right’. Because we have no overheads, we can adapt and coalesce around specific projects, rather than have a fixed workforce we need to keep busy. </span></p> <p></p><div id="attachment_587669" class=" wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 410px;"><img class="wp-image-587669" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220623042907im_/https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/emap-nibiru-prod/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2020/09/22142728/FINAL-736x1024.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="556"><p class="wp-caption-text">Coppice Workers’ Shelter, Westonbirt Arboretum</p> <p class="inline_image_source" style="max-width: 410px;"></p><p class="empty_inline_source"></p></div> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">Tell us about a current project that exemplifies this<br></span></strong><span class="s1">For the new project we are delivering for Westonbirt Arboretum, which was won in collaboration with Xylotek Advanced Timber Structures, we built a team to bring together very particular types of expertise in timber and participation. We are designing and constructing the project with local community groups and with timber from the Silkwood at Westonbirt. The project isn’t something that many practices could afford to take on if they were only designing it, but designing and constructing it allows us to act (architecturally) in a different manner. </span></p><div class="archi-post-content" data-id="452673" id="archi-1416325638"><h5 class="ad_title">Advertisement</h5> <div class="article_ads" style="margin: 10px 0; text-align: center;"> <div gano="3" gid="ad-aj-strip-5" class=""></div> <script language="JavaScript"> jQuery(document).ready(function($){ show_ga = true; isDevice = (window.innerWidth < 974 ); isDuplicate = ($("div[gid='ad-aj-strip-5']").length > 1); isMobileGA = false; if ( isDuplicate ) { // if same ad is added two times if ( isDevice ) { //if client is viewing ad in device if ( !isMobileGA ) { // if current ad is for desktop, return false show_ga = false; } } else { //if client is viewing ad in desktop if ( isMobileGA ) { // if current ad is for device, return false show_ga = false; } } } if (show_ga) { if ($("#ad-aj-strip-5").length==0) { $( "div[gano='3']" ).attr("id", "ad-aj-strip-5"); } GA_googleFillSlot("ad-aj-strip-5"); } else { lbl_div = $("div[gano='3']").parent().prev(); if (lbl_div.text() == "Advertisement") { lbl_div.parent().hide(); } } }); </script> </div></div> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">How should the profession respond to the climate emergency?<br></span></strong><span class="s1">Other than not building, our key focus has to be in two areas.

To pretend we always manage to make perfectly sustainable buildings would be a delusion. But we’re doing our best to grapple with the issues. </span></p> <p class="p1"><strong><span class="s1">How do you measure social impact and do you think the profession is taking it seriously enough?<br></span></strong><span class="s1">By creating a framework which details what the theory of change will be, how the work you carry out day-to-day will lead to long-term change, and how the design of a building complements and supports the activity happening inside. Then, create a monitoring plan which details how and when and in what format you will collect data that will provide evidence on how outcomes and ambitions are being achieved. And, no, we’re not doing enough. The culture is to finish it, photograph it, and fuck off. Long-term monitoring is essential, as indeed Architects Declare has articulated with its pledge for long-term post-occupancy evaluation to be offered by architects as an essential part of their appointment.</span></p> <p><i>Piers Taylor, founder, Invisible Studio</i></p><div class="archi-inread-slot-2" data-id="452681" id="archi-1323237191"><h5 class="ad_title">Advertisement</h5> <div
