<a href="https://www.cca.qc.ca/en/events/99570/to-build-law">To Build Law</a> This is an audio-introduction to the exhibition To Build Law, on show at the Canadian Centre for Architecture from 10 December  2024 to 22 May 2025.  According to a 2020 report by the UN Environment Programme, the construction industry accounts for at least <a href= "https://globalabc.org/sites/default/files/inline-files/2020%20Buildings%20GSR_FULL%20REPORT.pdf">38 per cent of carbon emissions globally</a>, operating with narrow methods geared toward profit. Buildings are held as assets, torn down, and redeveloped, with limited consideration of community and environmental impacts. Meanwhile, housing crises escalate. Evidently, a systemic shift in the way we build and value our built environment is urgently needed. To Build Law follows <a href= "https://bplus.xyz/en/">bplus.xyz</a> (b+) and <a href= "https://station.plus/">station.plus</a> (s+) as they establish a policy lab, HouseEurope!, to propose industry reforms and shift cultural norms. The film closely observes the b+ team during various phases of conceptualization and development of a European Citizens’ Initiative meant to incentivize renovation over demolition and new construction. Through this bottom-up legal tool, architecture becomes an open process of establishing partners, drafting legislation, filming stories, strategizing communications, coordinating campaigns, collecting votes, and building a movement. To Build Law is the second chapter of <a href="https://www.cca.qc.ca/en/events/92546/groundwork">Groundwork</a>, a three-part film and exhibition series exploring the conceptual development and field research of contemporary architects cultivating alternative modes of engagement with new project sites.
