An interactive event for workplace designers to learn and hear from manufacturers and suppliers about efforts towards greater sustainability.

In April 2024 we gathered over 70 people for our 3rd Birthday Social at The Building Centre, London, in their gallery space. John Bonning, director of the Building Centre, highlighted its history and role in promoting innovation within the building sector.

Our Founders, Cat Hoade, Chloe Bullock, Simone Suss, Jecks Stone, and Ana Rita Martens celebrated our progress over 3 years, including speaking at trade fairs and increasing our membership to 300. Chloe Bullock spoke about her book published for RIBA Publishing, 'Sustainable Interior Design'. Oliver Heath presented on Biophilic design, followed by questions from the audience, including contributions from Vanessa, editor of 'The Biophilic Journal'. Mathew Freeman updated us on the FR campaign, focusing on furniture sustainability. Helen Gordon of Kite Creative and Emer Gillespie of Spark & Bell discussed challenges from a supplier perspective, aiming to use local, natural and recycled materials to prevent waste and increase community awareness.

It was great to gather and meet some of our signatories. Thank you to all who joined us. Special thanks to Rosey Treherne Pollock for securing the venue, catering and organising the event along with the IDD Events working group.

Join us to learn more about how the new Architects Declare Practice Guide helps your practice act on the climate & biodiversity emergency.

Hear from the team who produced the guide, which we launched at the RIBA & Architects Declare Built Environment Summit on 29th October, ahead of the start of COP26. We created the guide to help Architects Declare signatories convert their declaration of climate and biodiversity emergency into meaningful action and build momentum within their practice.

Part 1 is a Practice Roadmap that provides 5 simple steps to transform your business. Part 2 is the Project Design Guide focused on the fundamentals of truly sustainable design and demonstrated through exemplars.

This one-hour online event (9.30-10.30, Friday 26th November) will provide an overview of the guide’s purpose and intent and summaries of each of the chapters, followed by a Q&A session.

Tickets are by donation. You can give as little or as much as you wish. Your donation will greatly support the work of Architects Declare in its running costs and developing its programme to support signatories through initiatives such as the Practice Guide. The guide is available as a free download here.
