10 COMMERCIAL 25.08.2022 AFTERSUNSET – Architecture in the City UK Architect Ed Hayden will be sharing his extensive experience in championing zero carbon projects and design innovation within Scott Brownrigg and across the wider industry ED'S passion and drive has transformed the design pro- cess, embracing augmented reality and parametric tools to create some of the practic- es most high profile award winning projects. With significant cross-sector experience including residential, de- fence, transport and edu- cation, Ed's recent projects include Cambridge Science Park Bio-Hub; Arm Head- quarters, Peterhouse Tech- nology Park, Cambridge international technology park, CABI Headquarters, and the award winning St Georges College Activity Centre. On Friday 26th August 2022 at the MUZA Court- yard in Valletta, Ed Hayden will give a presentation at this MASP event and will focus on the route to net zero, decarbonising con- struction. In his presentation, Ed will speak about how the construction industry plays a vital role in the world econ- omy, creating, operating and maintaining its physical in- frastructure. It is also a major contributor to the world's car- bon emissions, with energy consumed at every stage of the infrastructure lifecycle. Transformational change is needed if we are to achieve a low-carbon built environ- ment which can play its part in reaching the net zero target. At Scott Brownrigg they be- lieve in 'research based design' and use the knowledge gained to inform their Architecture. Low Carbon and sustainable design is at the heart of this process. A key question they contin- uously ask is, what needs to be done NOW to accelerate the rate of transition of construc- tion to a zero-carbon industry to best serve the needs of the planet?
