Future Thinking and Sector Challenges
For over 50 years, this project’s team has tackled the complex challenges of the architecture and construction sector from a fresh perspective. The goal? To deliver imaginative solutions that are purposeful and add real value. This means constantly asking: Which global best practices should be applied to UK construction? How can social and economic value be optimized? And crucially, what can be done to reduce the significant carbon emissions the sector is responsible for? It’s about thinking ahead, pushing boundaries, and making a positive impact — all while staying grounded in practical, sustainable outcomes.
