Are we done with sustainable design? No, but we can surpass de net zero goal and try to give back to nature even more than what we get from her.
-
We might need to urbanise rural towns, now that healthcare, education and working can be assited remotely thanks to technology and renaturalize cities so we live in better conditions.
-
2 billion people will be living in megacities by 2050, but what if we could create new cities, based on a system that could predict their needs, climate and learn from previous experiences.
-
There are two leves, existing and potential. Existing is the level we usually move; what do we need to operate? and to mantain? On the other hand potential makes us think further, out of the box, less ego more eco. So we improve and at the end regenerate.
-
We need concepts as taking care of the planet and by default of ourselves, but also hands on to find materials that work.
