Kjellander + Sjöberg launches tool for
sustainable building processes and urban development |
Release: Kjellander + Sjöberg |
K + S launches Kjellander + Sjöberg Workbook – a book and
a process guide that aims to develop and maintain sustainable practices
throughout the entire building and urban planning process.
- In the
shared processes with our clients and collaborators, we want to focus on
the unique opportunity that we have today – to create buildings and
cities for contemporary lifestyles that are flexible to meet future
needs, and that exist within the limits of our natural resources, says
Mi Inkinen, CEO of Kjellander + Sjöberg.
The book
is a tool for integrating sustainable practices in architecture and
urban planning. It identifies what is meant by sustainable architecture
and urban planning and asks critical questions throughout the entire
process – from initial analysis to design, implementation and usage.
- We want
to define what sustainability is, so that the vision becomes clear to
our clients and collaborators. This is a way for us to take
responsibility and to help others do the same. Architects have the power
to create better processes. This book is a tool for that, says Mi
Inkinen.
Many of
today’s environmental assessment systems often lack the ability to
assess architectural and life quality and the extent to which
interesting and coherent urban spaces have been created. The book raises
relevant questions to achieve a sustainable context within the frame of
Kjellander + Sjöberg's principles: resources, nature, climate, urban
fabric, society and lifestyle.
Kjellander
+ Sjöberg Workbook has been developed in collaboration with John
Manoochehri
at Resource Vision. Graphic design by THIS IS Studio, London.
