“CAT’s a place which is full of people who have so much hope and energy. It’s more than a place to study, it’s a whole experience. ”
During her studies in Interior Architecture, Janna became very interested in sustainability and incorporated this passion into her undergraduate degree portfolio. After graduation she went travelling for a year which opened her eyes to the environmental issues faced on a global scale. Inspired to help change things for the better, Janna decided to study further with a strong focus on sustainability.
She was introduced to CAT by a previous student and decided to attend the Professional Diploma in Architecture Part Two. As her passion for sustainability was strongly evident in her portfolio she was able to build on her interior architecture undergraduate degree. She was drawn to CAT because she liked the centre’s perspective of looking at architecture within the built environment as a whole, and the determination to take on such a huge environmental challenge in the construction industry.
Straight out of CAT, Janna and a fellow MSc student set up a business called ‘building naturally’, which is a network directory for the natural building industry. In 2015, Janna also founded Grain Architecture: a design practice specialising in the use of natural materials, which has now taken on many projects across the south from house extensions and new-build houses to community developments. In the future, she aims to create a rural community with shared resources as model for rural development and agriculture, for a healthier and more resilient way of living - a project that she explored during her final project at CAT.
Sir John has had an illustrious career as one of the world’s most eminent climate scientists, including being co-chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Scientific Assessment Working Group and a former Chief Executive of the Met Office.
A long term supporter of the work of the Centre for Alternative Technology, Sir John says:
‘I have spent a lifetime studying the atmosphere and the climate and latterly have been concerned with the reality of human induced climate change. I now want to help the next generation tackle this serious problem, possibly the biggest the world faces.’
