Designing for Tomorrow: Sustainability in a Shifting Landscape
In the latest edition of the Gensler Design Forecast, sustainable design emerges as a pivotal trend among the eight shaping the landscape of design in 2024. As we confront the challenges of extreme weather and climate instability, the call for sustainable design rises above preference—it's now an urgent necessity. From elevating standards for products and materials to advocating for the adaptive reuse of existing structures and implementing net-zero energy strategies, every stride forward is instrumental in charting our course toward a sustainable future. In this episode, join our host, David Calkins, and our guests, Juliette Morgan and Huang Yi Chun, leaders of Gensler’s Climate Action & Sustainability practice area as they discuss the responsibility to address the climate crisis as designers and architects, and how do we navigate the path to decarbonisation.
