In the Winter 2022 edition of Living Architecture Monitor (LAM), our managing director Luigi Petito reflects the EU policy innovation is key to increase green infrastructure amid the combined climate, energy and health crisis.

We live in a time of unprecedented social, environmental, and economic change. To manage and hopefully guide the transition, and to address the multiple challenges it raises, particularly when it comes to the climate, we need innovation and resilience.

The LAM magazine is a quarterly publication first published in 1998.  It features in-depth interviews with leaders in the green building movement, opinions, research, and green roof and wall project profiles.
