Thursday Talks: Questioning How we Embed Sustainable Design in Practice

On Thursday 9 February we are launching our new series “Thursday Talks”, virtual lunch-time talks from Member-Plus Practices for students, the Practice Network and the general public.

In our first event, “Questioning How we Embed Sustainable Design in Practice”, Haptic Architects will discuss how its in-house sustainability team utilises research, inter-practice collaboration and knowledge sharing to embed sustainable principles throughout its work – from initial briefing, to design, construction and POE.

In line with the LSA’s drive to explore international design methodology, the talk will explore a range of projects. From their mass timber community centre here in London, Kings Cross, due for completion this summer; to the urban rehabilitation of an unloved area in the heart of Bergen, Norway. Haptic will explore how Haptic Green is woven into each project’s process, demonstrating how research and knowledge transfer can help accelerate our work to adapt and minimise the effects of the Climate and Biodiversity Emergency we are all part of.

The talk will be given by Jack Pentford Baker, a Design Tutor at the LSA and Senior Architect at Haptic, and Harry Sumner, Sustainability Consultant, working in the Haptic Green team, the Research and Development arm of Haptic.

Thursday Talks are part of our Professional Programme, which is built on our ideal of collective peer development and is designed to provide students, practitioners and those from the wider built environment with an opportunity to engage, exchange and collaborate.

Tickets are free and are available here.
