10 Strategies for a Low Waste, Low Carbon Building Project | Design Principles & Practices 2021 Conference
From the Design Principles & Practices 2021 Conference: Towards a (Design) New Deal
The role of design in transitional times is ever more fluid. In order to foster social responsibility and respond to the complex challenges ahead, we need to establish a large social contract that responds to the real and looming, rather than often fabricated, upcoming crisis. Green policies and transnational collaboration—bridging actions instead of isolating mentalities—are on the top of the agenda. But in our current state of extreme dilemma, a larger question remains: what is the role of design in this movement of change?
In a Workshop Presentation, Imani Hamilton and Nancy Madynski will present 10 Strategies for a Low Waste, Low Carbon Building Project.
