Introducing the virtual AJ Summit 2021 in association with the AJ’s RetroFirst campaign

The AJ Summit 2021 will focus on how architects can respond to the climate emergency by embracing the whole-life carbon agenda and the principles of the circular economy. As previously planned, the AJ Summit will still host a series of talks, panels and case studies highlighting how architects, clients and project partners can collaborate to achieve positive design outcomes and work towards net-zero architecture.

Over 700 architecture practices have signed up to Architects Declare, acknowledging the enormous transformation required by the construction industry to tackle the looming threat of climate change. These practices have pledged to create an industry that has a more positive impact on the world around us. But what happens next? How can we realistically work towards this?

AJ Summit presents an exceptional opportunity for architects to learn how to incorporate climate-responsible working methods into everyday practice.
