Monday 2 Oct 2017 is World Architecture Day!
This is an event for architects around the world organised by The International Union of Architects (UIA). This year’s theme is “Climate Change Action!”
The UIA supports the initiatives from the 015 International Climate Change Agreement and this is another opportunity to demonstrate the importance that architecture and urban design can have in lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
If you are inspired by Green Architecture the Library has lots of physical and electronic resources on this subject, for example:
