All in all, the ultimate goal of ESG is to build resilience. In this time of disorder, this resilience is important so that we can shape, to a certain extent, the global order.
“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us,” said Winston Churchill in his speech to the House of Lord on 28 October 1943, requesting that the House of Commons bombed out in May 1941 to be rebuilt exactly as before.
Architects shape buildings, and thereafter the buildings shape our collective national lives. Hence, speaking with the architects is so important. The ideas that circulate among the architectural community will eventually be represented in their buildings, and our lives, for generations to come.
