This week on Dezeen, we published a survey showing that three years on from leaving the EU, 84 per cent of UK architecture studios want to reverse the Brexit "catastrophe" and rejoin the union.
Dezeen's features editor Nat Barker spoke to 50 architecture studios about their experience of conducting business post-Brexit, discovering that nine in 10 firms believe that leaving the EU has hindered their practice.
Studios with a global presence including Foster + Partners and BDP took part in the survey, as well as smaller offices with 15 or fewer employees. We also reported on the plans of Somerset-based Invisible Studio to move out of the UK in direct response to Brexit.
Architects spoke to Dezeen about carrying out insulation-led retrofits on their homes Another study that gained traction this week came from the University of Cambridge and found that energy savings obtained by insulating UK homes appear to be cancelled out within four years due to an increase in energy use.
To combat this "rebound effect" and ensure energy savings continue in the long term, the researchers concluded that installing insulation has to be accompanied by financial incentives and regulations to change people's behaviour.
At the same time, a series of British architects talked to Dezeen about the challenges of completing energy-led retrofits on their own homes in light of the UK's ageing housing stock.
