Circularity in Your City

Whilst walking round London, I visited the area with these Iconic buildings. The Lloyds building, an incredible example of how to maximise internal space. The use of stainless steel and exposed concrete to make the building sustainable in it's ability to use the environmental elements to help heat and cool the building. The Gherkin with its design to help reduce its need for artificial lighting with the extensive glass exterior. The increased airflow due to the design of the building reduces the need for air conditioning, thus also reducing energy costs. The likes of these buildings just drives on the need and desire to innovate how we look at what we create, how we can utilise all available sources to the most sustainable levels, aiming to give back to the environment, what we take out, and then some.
