Prince and architects unite to tackle zero carbon housing

摘要

The Prince of Wales' built environment charity has teamed up with two of the country's green architecture pioneers on "game changing" plans for zero carbon housing. In a move that will raise eyebrows in the architecture profession given the ongoing tensions with the Prince, his Foundation for Building Communities is working in partnership on separate schemes with Zed Factory, the practice run by architect Bill Dunster, and Passivhaus specialist Bere Architects. Dunster, still best known for designing the UK's first and largest zero energy housing development, BedZed, is working with the foundation on plans for an "eco-hamlet" of up to 10 ultra-low energy homes in Neath, south Wales.
