Architects as climate activists, with Caroline Pidcock

In this episode, managing editor of The Fifth Estate, Tina Perinotto, speaks to Caroline Pidcock, an award-winning Australian architect and advocate for sustainable design. Caroline has been pouring much of her energy into the Australian branch of Architects Declare as the group’s spokesperson, which involves working out how architects should respond to the climate and biodiversity emergencies. As lateral, creative thinkers with their feet firmly grounded in the physical world, Caroline says architects have a key role to play in creating human settlements that work with nature rather than against it.
