The discussion highlights the impact of deep globalisation, where manufacturing has been exported, potentially shifting emissions rather than reducing them.
She believes that creating factory environments onsite, rather than relying heavily on offsite prefabrication, will address logistical challenges and enhance construction efficiency..These takeaways highlight Lucy Homer's insights into the transformative strategies at Lendlease, the evolving role of architects, and the future direction of the construction industry towards greater sustainability and digital integration..

building sustainably hereThe difficulties in articulating and quantifying the essence of good design and its wider benefits to society have meant that design is often undervalued, both in the procurement of new development and in the planning decision-making process.As a result, large urban developments often fail to meet the aspirations of policymakers.Architects have also been reluctant to focus conversations on the economic merits of their schemes, or the political issues behind them, instead focusing their descriptions and appraisals of work in mainly aesthetic terms.
This has meant the discussion misses key challenges regarding what schemes are providing, or lacking, in terms of the economic and social value in architecture.. Part of the difficulty in embedding this design quality throughout the design process may be a result of the fragmentation of projects into stages, and the atomisation of roles in recent decades.Individuals are often responsible only for small chunks of the process and wider design, with little collaboration between parties.
It is therefore important to look at how to bridge these gaps across disciplines..
The ‘triple bottom line’ of sustainability.We should not use nuclear because of accident risks.
Storing spent fuel is an important aspect to consider as some spent fuel emits radiation for a long time.Opponents of nuclear argue that no long-term strategy for storing waste has been developed.
The nuclear industry responds that a lot of industrial processes also produce toxic materials that need to be handled responsibly over a long period of time.The nuclear industry currently has ways of storing different waste products appropriately.. 12.
