Episode Synopsis

Since mid-2019, over 900 architectural practices in the UK have made a declaration of climate and biodiversity emergency, acknowledging the extreme seriousness of our situation and making a public commitment to positive change.



Now joined by declarations from other disciplines in the construction industry, the growing movement needs coordination or it risks becoming siloed.



In this episode we interview the man coordinating these engineering declarations: IStructE Gold Medal winner Mike Cook, and we look at a career spent trying to work with nature, rather than against it.
