OUR UNDERSTANDING OF SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE • Sustainable architecture is both a noun and a verb; an object and a way of thinking and designing . • There are many ways to understand, approach and practice sustainable architecture • Sustainable architecture is contextually based and responsive , holistically encompassing social, cultural, environmental, economic and aesthetic concerns with a long-term or future perspective . (People, Performance and Poetics) • “ All ‘good’ architecture is sustainable and, if it is not sustainable, it is not good architecture” TP3Common Workshop 2018/2019 Source: E.Donovan AAA BOARD MEETING 23.09.2019 S. 9/61
HOW OUR RESEARCH STARTED? We are three academics trained as architects with complementary areas of expertise in sustainable architecture. Through collaboration, we are uniquely positioned to research sustainable architecture from a holistic perspective . In much of the Nordic region, architecture seems to be a ‘step ahead’ of sustainability compared to other countries. The Nordic region has ‘quietly’ responded to the environmental, societal and climatic challenges we are facing. ‘Quiet’ both in terms of its approach to integrating sustainability in design (i.e. less ‘eco- bling’), but also in many instances, the modesty in capitalising on its contributions . This is especially noticeable when coming from outside the Nordic region AAA BOARD MEETING 23.09.2019 S. 10/61

AIM OF THE PROJECT Hence, we want to study, understand but also advocate (i.e. make visible) the different approaches to Nordic sustainable architecture , while also understanding what makes it unique, where it can improve, and thus contribute to the developments and debate in the Nordic region, and beyond.

CONTEXT OF THE PROJECT AAA BOARD MEETING 23.09.2019 S. 13/61
STATE OF ART Investigate a little studied area in Nordic architecture through a new (outsider) lens and make it visible : • Combining our diverse areas of expertise, leading to a unique and holistic approach to our research, and evaluation of Nordic sustainable architecture • Our complementary approaches also enrich our research methods, marrying the qualitative with the quantitative , allowing us to ‘triangulate’ data and increase our in-depth understanding • Using our knowledge, insights, and collaborative working in our teaching of the next generation of architects AAA BOARD MEETING 23.09.2019 S. 14/61
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT The ultimate purpose is to infmuence and change how we practice sustainable architecture and subsequently respond to (and anticipate) societal, environmental and climatic challenges by ‘engaging through architecture .’ The unique studio-based teaching model at AAA allows the integration of sustainability knowledge, exploration of researched topics and freedom to ask fundamental questions. The use of research-based education and experimental approach to sustainability within TP3 teaching results in holistic understandings of the complexity of sustainable architecture which transgress common problem- solving approaches and integrates environmental issues in the core of the discipline.
