CASE STUDIES
Drilling into sustainability
Creative approaches to reducing carbon footprints with fabric.
by Bruce N. Wright, FAIA
S
tresses, as the result of a global pandemic over the past two years, have brought
home the realization that architects, as a professional obligation, must design
smarter, leaner and lighter in order to help the world address climate change.
Not only sustainable buildings, but architects must also create more equitable
environments that help both humans and animals.
Paul Makovsky, editor-in-chief
of Architect magazine, the official
publication of the American
Institute of Architects, in his Jan/
Feb 2022 editorial put it succinctly:
" Not surprisingly, many designers
see climate action, sustainability,
and equity as key forces affecting
our profession and the way we
design ... It's the responsibility
of architects to immediately
implement strategies to combat
the climate crisis, beginning with
dramatic carbon reductions. "
These case studies offer new
approaches to this challenge,
whether it is the use of ETFE foil
fabricated with the precision of
a Swiss watch (see " Time; Time
again, " pg. 19); the elimination of
the need for air conditioning in an
Australian high-end retail complex by providing fabric roofed spaces with natural cross
ventilation ( " Right of passage, " pg. 16); the sensitivity and creativity of shading that
blends with the landscape while reducing fossil fuel loads through the use of fabric
canopies ( " Ship has come in, " pg. 20); or an all fabric-clad amphitheater reducing its
carbon footprint ( " Opening up The Shell, " pg. 15), we think you will find many ideas
that can inspire your own sustainable designs.
