Senior Architect Eren Harding is excited to have joined the Architects Declare Materials Working Group. Eren's appointment reflects a natural progression of her ongoing research into circular building economies across a number of Aileen Sage projects, with a particular interest in repurposed and recycled finishes.

At a moment when the construction industry is reckoning seriously with its environmental impact, this kind of rigorous, material-focused thinking is more urgent than ever. Eren's contribution to the working group will help advance the collective push toward greater transparency, reduced embodied carbon, and a more considered approach to material specification across the profession.
