Free Webinar: Design Strategies to Mitigate Climate Change, May 20, 12-1pm PST
Event Description
We face complex problems such as climate change, ecosystem destruction, and social and humanitarian crises. As these issues intensify, so does their disconnection from the world and from each other. Landscape architects, in-particular, can bridge the gap between people and their environments and offer innovative solutions to tremendous challenges.
This session will provide professionals with climate change mitigation strategies that can be scaled and utilized across the design profession. They'll explore real world examples of award-winning Schmidt Design Group projects that demonstrate how design strategies can be implemented to create positive change in their communities. This session will discuss social, economic, and cultural sustainability and the design strategies that provide a comprehensive understanding of how to tackle extremely complex design problems associated with climate change.
