  In my role as the Head of Sustainability at Zaha Hadid Architects, I am entrusted with the leadership of the Environmental and Sustainability team, with a central objective of shaping innovative sustainability paradigms that permeate every facet of the company's architectural vision. Our collaborative endeavors are dedicated to the systematic evaluation of building environmental performance within the studio's architectural clusters. Our multifaceted approach encompasses the formulation of strategies to ensure adherence to diverse sustainability certifications, the development of carbon footprint mitigation tactics through comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analyses, and the refinement of our computational design workflows using state-of-the-art environmental analysis tools and Energy modelling. The overarching goal is the evolution of building envelopes that harmoniously balance form and function, thereby amplifying energy efficiency. A pivotal aspect of my role involves the advocacy for the assimilation of cutting-edge NET ZERO design strategies during the embryonic stages of concept development. We meticulously scrutinize architectural configurations and geometries to identify passive energy reduction systems, further fortifying our commitment to sustainable architectural innovation.
