Designing for Hope
Designing for Hope
Can design help heal the planet? Let’s find out. What if our cities, buildings, and communities didn’t just reduce harm, but actually restored nature, improved well-being, and built a thriving future? Ten years ago, Chrisna du Plessis and I wrote Designing for Hope. We reimagined sustainability, regenerative design, and nature-inspired solutions, and now we’re going to bring them to life byt connecting these ideas to real-world innovations happening right now. Join us for conversations on: * The cities and buildings leading the regenerative design movement * How urban resilience and nature-based solutions are shaping the future * Lessons from Designing for Hope, and what’s changed in 10 years New episodes every month! Subscribe now to stay ahead of the future of design.
