There are also health and safety risks from mould spores or people slipping on surface water.
Our aim was to deliver a scheme that added value to the lives of the local community..The developer’s forward-looking objective of creating a desirable community of rental apartments has informed a demographic spread within the resident community.
Occupancy within the development has remained at 100% since its completion and there is a waiting list, with many residents requesting to purchase their properties outright.The active engagement of the community within the local area and their pride in the development is testament to the positive social impact of the project..The project has also prioritised placemaking, providing great physical improvements to the neighbourhood.
The formerly forgotten backland site now features pavilions surrounding a central communal green area, providing a fantastic outdoor space for the community to use and enjoy.The lockdown imposed on us by the COVID-19 pandemic saw the urban garden-style placemaking at Churchwood Gardens really come into its own.
Residents could easily get out of their property and into the natural environment, while still feeling safe..
This level of placemaking, along with the sustainability credentials of the scheme and the added benefit to the existing built environment, is what social value in architecture means to us at Bryden Wood..Also illustrated is a biomass-based option.. 4.
Difficulties with Carbon Capture.There are limitations with these carbon capture methods, however, as CCS by itself isn’t enough to bring us to the designated targets for the industry.
CCU is the better of the two methods to take meaningful steps towards carbon neutrality, as it puts the carbon to use straight away with less risk of it escaping.The issue with these methods is that there is still work to be done on the technology and estimations for using the captured carbon in directly transforming it into hydrocarbons.. A good measure to show how close a technology is to being used is the technology readiness level (TRL).
