BBM Sustainable Design is one of the ‘interesting new practices making the
management of natural resources a priority. With modesty, economy and
intelligence they adapt existing buildings to new realities. They design new
buildings which work with the environment, not against it. Houses used to
be machines for living in. Now they are organisms for living with. Altogether
more wholesome’
Stephen Bayley
journalist, author and cultural commentator
Is it possible to develop contemporary buildings in an environmentally benign
manner? Is it viable economically and æsthetically? And could this way of
working, using local materials and skills, be the beginning of a new local
architectural identity?
Award winning, Sussex-based architects, BBM Sustainable Design,
are celebrating ten years of architectural design with an exhibition, Built Ecologies:
translating landscape into architecture, which demonstrates how local natural
resources can be transformed into beautiful, affordable buildings. The exhibition was
originally launched in June 2007, the start of Architecture Week, in Lewes.
‘We are entering a new age of energy and resource awareness and sustainability
is a hot topic across all genres,’ says
Duncan Baker-Brown, director of BBM.
