Jonathan Louth will talk about an Architects’ Company initiative “Built with People” that is in development with other maker and construction liveries: optimising sustainable work practices and achieving commensurate energy reductions through combining technological developments with human skills.

Conservation Architect & Interdisciplinary Consultant for the Built Environment, educated at Bristol, Aachen, & Cambridge Universities:
Jonathan Louth is the LCAG SPOC for the Architects’ Company with whom, since 2018, he champions “Built with People”, a UK initiative integrating dexterous skills with technology in the built environment that will encompass almost 70 ‘maker’ and some 22 ‘professional’ Liveries. Since 2013, Development Adviser to the British Order of Carmelites and Chair of Estates Group at Aylesford Priory, Jonathan Louth guides a development plan for conservation, green energy strategies, & landlord-tenant structures to secure the future of the estate. Architectural Advisor to the Guards’ Chapel Committee in London, Jonathan has been guiding projects there since 2020: the new Harrison pipe organ, low energy lighting, wind lobbies, roof maintenance & access requirements. Until 2024, these roles ran parallel over 24 years advising at St George’s RC Cathedral Southwark, 21 of them as Cathedral Architect.

David Bates will talk about his work with the WCON where he is encouraging members to exploit transformative learning and capability development methods through advocacy, as well as enhancing and sharing their green health (knowledge and skills) credentials especially when working as a multi professional team including the non-health or care sectors. David believes that the need for Planetary and Green Health should not be a distant dream but a social reality of our time fuelling our moral responsibility to act locally to have a global impact. The City and Livery is in a unique position to achieve this.

David is the Middle Warden and LCAG SPOC for the Worshipful Company of Nurses’ (WCONs). His interest and development of Green Health as part of the wider Planetary Health agenda manifested itself in his long career as a health advocate in the Army and Armed Forces following an extensive career as a burns trauma nurse, CBRNE defence adviser and latterly an advocate for promoting human security through climate action and sustainable development as core elements of maintaining the public’s health. David left the Army in 2021 but the Army didn’t leave him! He continues to champion the causes that he identified as being important to promoting planetary health as a Senior lecturer at the University of Cumbria where he teaches disaster response and humanitarian action.
