This year again, the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE) is pleased to partner with the Architects’ Association of Catalonia (COAC) and the Superior Council of the Colleges of Architects of Spain (CSCAE) for the organisation of the Decarbonising Architecture conference.
How can we achieve decarbonised and resilient architecture to address the climate emergency?
This will be a day packed with knowledge, tools and strategies to tackle the challenge of transforming our profession with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Join to discover a carefully curated selection of sustainable projects presented by national and international architects who are already leading the transition toward decarbonisation, both in new construction and renovation. There will also be talks about regulatory updates, tools and the role of the industry, among others.
Together we will make this paradigm shift possible: an architecture that combats the climate crisis while improving people's quality of life. Don't miss it.
You can also explore videos from previous editions, as well as publications and other resources on decarbonisation. You will find them all on the "Decarbonizing Architecture" website.
You can see the detailed programme here (PDF).
In addition, guided tours will be held in Barcelona on 22 October, showcasing real-world examples of best practices in architecture. Learn more about the different itineraries.
