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.

The Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction

The Holcim Foundation helps drive systemic change towards a more sustainable built environment. It was founded in 2003 to define and promote the key principles of sustainability for the construction sector and is committed to accelerating the sector’s transformation so that people and the planet can thrive.

The Foundation has investigated various aspects of sustainable construction via a series of roundtables and conferences with international experts. It has also recognised excellent contributions to this field with the Holcim Awards which are considered the world’s most significant competition for sustainable design.

Committed to a holistic approach that recognises the equal importance and interdependence of four key goals, the Foundation combines the collective knowledge, ideas, and solutions of our global community of experts with our recognised platform of international competitions to democratise thought leadership for the entire sector.

Today, the Holcim Foundation is proud to accompany Ecogradia’s new podcast and its host, Nirmal Kishnani, with whom we share a common goal: contribute to a just, equitable, and sustainable future via sustainable construction and design.
