¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ architects have won a public choice award at the London Design Biennale for a prototype home constructed with flexible wooden partition walls which can be shifted to meet the changing needs of residents. The invention aims to reduce waste and carbon while also improving living conditions for those who cannot afford expensive refurbishments.

Social media engagement with climate policy events is vital to reducing building emissions and ensuring environmental justice, research led by ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ suggests

Against a global backdrop of rising energy demands and finite resources, Rihab Khalid set out to understand how buildings can become more energy efficient. As a result, she now advocates for building and energy policies that consider cultural differences and address the needs of women.

Art historians have created a new app which allows users to roam around one of Florence’s oldest and most important churches, San Pier Maggiore, 240 years after it was demolished.

Millions of new houses being built for former slum-dwellers are failing their residents and fuelling unnecessary energy use. New research aims to improve their design before it’s too late.

We urgently need to adapt our built and natural environment to be more flood resilient in the face of climate change, a new book shows.

The Centre for Natural Material Innovation exhibited their proposals for timber skyscrapers at the Royal Society’s Summer Science Exhibition.

Answers to the problem of crippling electricity use by skyscrapers and large public buildings could be ‘exhumed’ from ingenious but forgotten architectural designs of the 19th and early 20th century – according to a world authority on climate and building design.

Molecules 10,000 times narrower than the width of a human hair could hold the key to making possible wooden skyscrapers and more energy-efficient paper production, according to research published today in the journal Nature Communications. The study, led by a father and son team at the Universities of Warwick and ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ, solves a long-standing mystery of how key sugars in cells bind to form strong, indigestible materials.
