Buro Happold
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE SPACES
THAT TOUCH THE EARTH LIGHTLY
Sustainable development combines resource efficiency, long term asset and risk management,
holistic business innovation and the respect of people, to ensure that we do more with less, helping
our clients and communities create a built environment fit for the future.
Urban development is taking place at a scale and speed
never achieved before and needs to be adaptable to
changing climates and environments. Existing cities are
seeking to remain competitive and economically viable
in an increasingly global marketplace.
The creation and delivery of new high-quality, functional
urban environments is a complex process, demanding
inspirational vision combined with an understanding of
the present and historic context. At Buro Happold we are
pioneering the design of low-energy, high performance
and modular forms of building. We are also continuing
to examine and identify new and more responsible
ways to limit our use of natural resources – adopting
more efficient approaches, seeking better ways to move
people, products and waste around and encouraging
new and improved technologies to meet existing needs.
As engineers we believe that innovation is central to the
development of efficient, flexible urban environments.
Working in partnership with our clients, we create
accessible and sustainable developments, which meet
the needs of today’s residents, while safeguarding the
places that we create for future generations to come.
