“Global energy for cooling will exceed energy for heating by 2060. More efficient versions of the same buildings won’t buck this trend: We need to figure out how to unplug buildings from HVAC infrastructure.” – Salmaan Craig, Lecturer in Environmental Technology, Graduate School of Design (GSD), Harvard University, USA.

He teaches young architects how, by the composition of simple materials, they can better orchestrate the thermal currents that flow through buildings. He also pursues research in architectural technology, materials science, thermal engineering and climate change adaptation.
He was a Lecturer in Environmental Technology at the Graduate School of Design (GSD), Harvard University (2012-17) and a Research Associate in the Harvard Center for Green Buildings & Cities (2014-17) in Cambridge, MA, USA.
Salmaan Craig studied a B.SC in Product Design (2004) and completed a PhD in Engineering, Environmental Technology (2008) at Brunel University, London, United Kingdom.
He then moved to the specialist modelling group at Foster + Partners (2010-13), continuing to develop his research interests in the context of a number of high-profile building projects, such as the Masdar Institute, Apple Campus, and Bloomberg Place.
His portfolio of independent consulting activities has extended beyond architecture to include the design of shoes for improved thermoregulation.
