Session 1.1
Keynote: Considering global warming potential in the design process
Synopsis:
Why is it important for designers to consider the concepts of sustainability, circular economy or, more specifically, climate change in their creative process? Will the introduction of these parameters into your typical design workflow hinder your creative freedom?
When designing a certain space, one has the ultimate noble goal of serving its users. Yet nowadays, one of the greatest needs of society in general is to limit climate change.
The consideration of greenhouse gas emissions that stem from the establishment of the built environment and the knowledge on how to control or limit them should become part of the already sophisticated skill set of designers. But how to assess yet another quantitative parameter without tainting the beauty of the creative process?
This talk aims to explore the possibilities available to designers today to control the environmental impact of their design, while breaking paradigms and misconceptions related to building sustainability which diminishes the realm of choices that can be made throughout the design process.
