F U T U R E S T O R A T I V E TOWARDS A NEW SUSTAINABILITY

MARTIN BROWN @fairsnape

I N S I G H T S

F U T U R E S T O R A T I V E is a collec=on of blog style contribu=ons from UK and overseas thought and business leaders, advocates and prac==oners, weaved together with informed narra=ve and insight from the author, Mar=n Brown. Central to F U T U R E S T O R A T I V E is the emergence of a net posi=ve and restora=ve sustainability, exploring the shiM from an oMen blinkered focus on sustainability as simply energy performance to a more rounded social, wellness, health and healthy buildings debate.

“Furthering much-‐needed debate for new sustainability thinking in the built environment”

“This book should be read by policy makers in the built environment, not just by construc;on professionals and students of sustainability … ” Su Butcher

“We need more thinking like FUTURESTORATIVE that challenges current and entrenched thinking and, in encouraging debate, moves us forward …” Amanda Sturgeon

“With FutuREstoraEve MarEn Brown has put green thinking firmly back on the agenda” The NBS

CHAPTER ONE THE CHALLENGE

Design brief for ‘built environment’ industry:

DO NOTHING TODAY THAT COMPROMISES

TOMORROWS GENERATION

Brundtland 1987

A Sense of Urgency

The Numbers

Paris Agreement climate change target 2deg C

Aim for 1.5 Deg C

2016 Carbon ppm all time high reached March 2016 407ppm

Built Environment 40% of problem, 40% of solution

2.0 > 1.5

407  > 350

40% > 40% MARTIN BROWN @fairsnape

There are no non-radical approaches left before us in addressing climate change

Namoi Klein, This Changes Everything (2015)

Reducing built environment carbon emissions (50% from 1990 levels by 2025) is now out of reach with current practice.

WHY BIOPHILIA?

F U T U R E S T O R A T I V E MARTIN BROWN @fairsnape

Green Living Walls as Construction Site Hoarding. London.

We are familiar with the biophilic and health and air quality benefits of living walls within new builds. Incorporating living walls as construction project site hoarding can also provide healthy working places and address the construction impact on air quality within the local community.

BIOPHILIC THINKING FOR WELLBEING APPLIES TO CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AS WELL AS OFFICE WORKSPACES

CHAPTER FOUR RESTORATIVE APPROACHES NATURE, EARTH, LIGHT AND AIR

Rewilding Nature, Buildings and People Soil Circadian LighKng Buildings as air cleansers

‘Light is Medicine’ Paul Scialla

DYSON NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT, RUH, BATH

LIGHT IS MEDICINE

Rewilding Nature

Not just reintroducing

wolf or lynx, but allowing emergence of

eco-systems to support.

Rewilding Buildings

using natural thinking

allow buildings to breathe,

to heal, to respond to

seasons and climate

Rewilding People

thru Eco Literacy

Education Influence of Buildings

Connecting people

to nature, through buildings

We spend 90% time indoors,

and Children spend

less time outdoors than prisoners
