Course Description: CEU Events: Future-Ready: Addressing the complex problems of climate change with intentional action
As the built environment faces increasing environmental, economic, and social challenges, architects and designers must adopt strategies that ensure long-term resilience and sustainability. This course explores the interconnected nature of these challenges and provides a framework for transitioning from a linear to a circular approach in design and construction.
The course will examine the role of architecture and design in shaping sustainable solutions, leveraging the concept of using collective power to drive meaningful change. Through case studies, discussions, and practical applications, participants will learn how to integrate circular economy principles into their work and influence firm-wide adoption of future-proofing strategies.
By the end of this course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to create a more regenerative and adaptive built environment, ensuring that every design choice contributes to a more sustainable future.
