As a specialist lab dedicated to architecture and the built environment, the Fabrication Lab has a special role to play in building a more sustainable future. We are working towards all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, but have a special interest in several, and especially working towards the mitigation of climate change. As is well known, the built environment accounts for roughly half of all global emissions of greenhouse gases. It is also a major user of materials and natural resources. Our work in the Lab focuses on teaching, research and knowledge exchange. A focus on sustainability informs our activities in all three areas. We take seriously the responsibility of educating the next generation of designers and built environment professionals. We likewise take seriously the potential contribution of our research, and our role in sharing the knowledge we produce with others. At the same time we balance the materials and energy used in achieving our goals.
