In this episode, we hear from Hanif Kara who is working with leading architects on projects across the globe for ambitious clients with resources to deliver sustainable outcomes, including Google, Apple and British Land. Recent projects include Grafton\u2019s Stirling-Prize winning Town House<\/a> in Kingston, Grafton\u2019s Marshall Building<\/a> at the LSE, Foster + Partners’ Bloomberg building<\/a> and the new Google headquarters<\/a> currently on site at King\u2019s Cross with Bjarke Ingels and Thomas Heatherwick.<\/p>\n

In contrast with most of our guests so far, Hanif is not a Climate Champion from way back, but we\u2019re delighted to have him on the pod because he is at the forefront of what is being delivered on the ground now and his design-led approach is pushing best practice. In this episode, he advocates reverse-engineering as a forensic method that utilises complex computational methods to retrofit and extending existing buildings.<\/p>\n
