World Architecture Day

World Architecture Day

The World Architecture Day proclaimed by the International Union of Architects (UIA) falls on the first Monday of October every year. Since 2005, this day belongs to all architects in the world, but also to their co-workers, partners, clients... The World Architecture Day is increasingly dedicated to the issue affecting the entire society, which is climate change and the related production of CO2 emissions.

It is not difficult to understand why World Architecture Day is important. Architects play a huge role in society, combining science and art with politics, economics, sociology, psychology, ecology, and more. We should appreciate their work and celebrate all the amazing things they have done and encourage them for what they will do in the future.
The challenges facing architects today are not small. Construction accounts for 37% of carbon dioxide emissions, consumes 50% of natural resources, and generates 40% of solid waste. The transformation towards sustainability largely depends on this industry. The concept of sustainable construction is widely known, but there is still a lack of knowledge about what it entails. Only one in five stakeholders in the construction industry systematically calculates the carbon footprint of a project. Nevertheless, every construction project starts with a design, so the future of sustainable construction lies in the hands of architects, who are celebrating their holiday today.
