The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals represent the aspiration of the people of the United Nations for a more sustainable future. The authors of ‘An Architecture Guide to the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals’ take BC Architects’ library for the community of Muyinga, Burundi, as a reference and example for framing the goals the UN wants to achieve.
The guide illustrates, for each of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), possible methods and inspirational references on how to address each identified challenge. The aim is to make tangible how the built environment interacts with the SDGs, and to inspire architects and stakeholders involved in the built environment to engage with the challenges.
The guide was created, in collaboration, by the Institute of Architecture and Technology at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (KADK – Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation), the Danish Association of Architects and the UIA Commission on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
