About this webinar

Architects and designers are being called upon to reimagine the way we cohabitate with other living species on Earth. Be it a global health crisis or extreme weather events, complex ecosystems are at play. A transdisciplinary approach and a firm understanding of the bond between people and their environment is required. “Designing with the Planetary Futures in Mind” borrows concepts from various disciplines and highlights examples of everyday architecture as an invitation to rethink your role as an architect or designer and prepare for how these changes will impact your practice.
