What matters more to a sustainable future? Better buildings or better urban systems?
What do we do, where do we start, when the answer also hinges on our relationship with natural systems?
The first season of Ecogradia wrapped up a few weeks ago, but we’ve only just begun diving into the design of our buildings and cities, the synergy between them, and how we can improve their performance to meet the sustainability challenges we face.
The upcoming second season will keep that ball rolling with a new lineup of guests, including the award-winning Indian architect Ashok Lall, and the regenerative development experts Chrisna Du Plessis from South Africa and Bill Reed from the United States.
This next series will increase the offering to ten episodes, each to be released every fortnight. Starting end-January.
