I am delighted to share with you Earthna new flagship initiative, The Earthna Prize that focuses on traditional knowledge. Merging traditional knowledge with sustainable urban design marks a transition towards a more environmentally conscious future. This approach recognizes the role that traditional techniques and culturally sensitive architecture play in achieving sustainable development. If you are leading a sustainable urban design project that is rooted in traditional knowledge and practices, I invite you to check out this unique opportunity to showcase your organization’s efforts through Earthna inaugural #EarthnaPrize. Visit www.earthna.qa to learn more and submit your application by June 30th, 2024.

#GPMInsights | As we rethink the basics of urban planning amidst a fast-growing population, climate change, and changing lifestyles, any city's urban regeneration or development aims to induce economic growth, create sustainable communities, and design for the people. Integrating local natural and cultural heritage in urban planning effectively creates a unique identity and sense of belonging among the users, facilitating a happy community, economic gains, and sustainability. At GPM, we consider technological growth and innovation factors that support modern, contemporary architecture. This has led to cities worldwide having the same style and aesthetic, completely discarding the indigenous identity and diversity. Follow us for more such insights! #IndianCulture #HeritageArchitecture #architecturalheritage #IndianInfrastructure #engagingarchitecture #GPMArchitects

I'm thrilled to share that my paper on "A New Form of Biophilic Design for Human-nature Interactions in High-density, High-rise Contexts" has been published. In this study, I explore the potential of biophilic design principles to enhance human-nature interactions in urban environments. My aim is to contribute to the development of sustainable and inclusive green architecture for urban living. If you're interested in the field of biophilic design and its impact on high-density urban communities, I invite you to read my full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gwYSQvHc #BiophilicDesign #HumanNatureInteraction #UrbanLiving #GreenArchitectureForAll

As designing urban schemes becomes more complex, it’s crucial to get the mix right and to do so sustainably – to maximise the use of space, reassure investors and safeguard asset value. The way to marry all these factors is to harness the vast amounts of data that is increasingly available and apply it to every aspect of city and placemaking design.Then we can deliver places that are future-ready, smarter and tailored to the people using them. Data-driven design is a game-changer for developing sustainable places, and can underpin everything from whole life cycle assessments to monitoring energy efficiency going forward. For Costar, I explain how we at Arcadis architecture and urbanism team are harnessing data to create smarter, successful and sustainable places. #improvingqualityoflife #placemaking #arcadis #architectureandurbanism #datadrivendesign #urbandesign #smartcities #sustainabledesign

I couldn't agree more. Architects have a profound responsibility to shape our communities in ways that enrich lives and respect our planet and it's crucial for them to prioritize the long-term cultural, social, and environmental ramifications of their designs. Reading some comments to the original post it's clear that we still have a problem with the main idea of what the real role of an architect/designer is and it's disheartening that monetary gain still overtake these considerations in today's architectural landscape way too often. It's time we collectively advocate for a shift towards holistic design practices that prioritize impact over profit.
If you build, add value to what exists - by Dan Stubbergaard, Cobe. Dan Stubbergaard urged architects to deeply consider the impact of their designs, posing the critical question, "Is it actually necessary to build here?" This serves as a call to action for architects to rigorously assess the need and potential influence of their projects, striving for meaningful contributions with every new endeavor. He advocates for architecture that markedly betters the current conditions, underlining the importance of social, environmental, and cultural impacts. His Danish firm, COBE, is dedicated to crafting architecture that exists solely to contribute; constructing buildings that offer benefits, spaces that enrich, and cities that catalyze positive change. This reflection emerged during our round table discussion at our event in Copenhagen a few years back. ▶️ You can find his talk on our website https://lnkd.in/ehJGgM8J.
