We are in a time of crises - crises that are of our own making, because we have taken more than we need, and more than the planet can bear. It is time to put the planet first. Time to put future generations first. Time to create a sustainable future for all, not just a comfortable present for the few.
Smith challenges existing perceptions and approaches to how we build and design the built environment. At Smith we do more with less.
Developing cities and building within planetary boundaries requires innovation. That is why Smith specialises in facilitating collaboration between people, organisations and across systems. With critical knowledge and experience, we illuminate, challenge and change the existing premises of the built environment.
Smith sets the framework for cities and construction in balance with the planet.

Circular Buildings Coalition (CBC) - Accelerating Circular Economy in the Built Environment
Client:
Laudes Foundation
It's well known that the built environment plays a pivotal role in reaching the targets outlined in the Paris Agreement and various other sustainability goals, owing to its significant ecological footprint and influence on human welfare. The Circular Buildings Coalition (CBC) is a collaboration that convenes industry leaders who aim to accelerate the deployment of circular economy solutions as a way of securing a global built environment operating within Planetary Boundaries while ensuring a just transition.
Project

Project
INDICATE - Accelerating Climate Requirements for Buildings in Europe
Client:
Laudes Foundation
In order to reduce the climate footprint of buildings, and not just the energy consumption during the building operation, it is necessary to introduce climate requirements that cover the entire lifecycle of a building. The aim of the INDICATE accelerator is to spread the experience with building climate requirements, as we know it from countries like Denmark, to other European countries. The initial focus will be on Spain, Ireland and the Czech Republic.
