About The Event
ABOUT THE TALK:
As design professionals, we do more than create spaces—we influence systems. In this interactive, one-hour session, architects, interior designers, and other built environment professionals will explore how to apply the three core principles of the circular economy to design:
1. Eliminate waste and pollution
2. Circulate materials at their highest value
3. Regenerate natural systems
Unlike certification programs such as LEED or WELL, the circular economy offers no checklist or certification for buildings – only a systems-thinking approach and an ethical imperative. It requires designers to take a leadership role in educating clients, challenging assumptions, and guiding conversations that lead to healthier, more sustainable outcomes.
