I wrote this today and posted on my LinkedIn account after reading this great news and I thought to post this here as well:

Embodied carbon and fire safety to be bolted onto architecture curriculum: This is GREAT news! (Probably one of the best news I have seen so far in 2021 without sounding OTT).

I have always thought and mentioned that Fire Safety should be a mandatory discipline in the Architecture (and all Engineering) undergraduate courses. (As a side note, I also think psychology should be a mandatory discipline in every Engineering undergraduate courses; we must have soft skills).

Back in 2013 when I gave a talk at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute as well in 2014 at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the USA I mentioned this.

I am so pleased to see this starting to move forward. This is also why I am very proud to be a member of the RIBA.

Glad to see this is together with the embodied carbon topic. Sustainability and Fire Safety must be always linked.
