ON REIMAGINING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT:
“I’m reimagining a building industry that fully values the external impact of our processes and captures the life-cycle costs of our choices and practices. I also reimagine a society that fully appreciates the impact of the built environment on quality of life and demands a built environment that enhances rather than hinders it. We have the ability and know-how to get there. We need better financial models and frameworks and the will to realize a restorative built environment.”
ON A FUTURE THEY WANT TO LIVE IN:
“I want to live in a decarbonized future where science, technology, and data inform a built environment that is health positive, carbon positive, and socially and environmentally restorative. I want to live in a future in balance with nature that fully values our natural capital. ”
