The climate crisis is here. Extreme weather is perturbing all lives rapidly across the world. How should buildings and cities respond? Should action be rooted in science or vernacular know-how? Or maybe both?
In season 3 of Ecogradia, we unpack the complexity of the big problems that we face today with ten new episodes that will lift your spirits, even as we seek answers and reimagine the world we live in.
The season is graced by eminent subject experts, such as Amory Lovins and Maria Atkinson, thought leaders on the global stage.
We speak with product specialists, like Nigel Stansfield at Interface, a flooring solutions company that has been on the road to sustainability for almost three decades.
We seek out practitioners, like architect Benny Kuriakose of India, who offer a unique point-of-view on design, rooted in place and context.
Ecogradia’s season 3 starts on 1st August.
