Description

Architects and designers are in a unique position now to change the world in even more extraordinary ways than at any other time in history. This course will explain why and show the benefits of moving away from a widely accepted sustainability model that focuses on producing “less bad” effects and instead move towards a model that intentionally creates “more good.” Cradle to Cradle aims to design things today that will create sustainability both now and in the future. Designers will learn how the heavily-vetted and multi-faceted third-party standard of Cradle to Cradle employs a circular model for products that can also be applied to entire buildings, companies and business models, communities, and ultimately to the whole planet.

Learn how design professionals are doing this boldly on a large scale and subtly on a small scale and why both will make a difference. You know why it’s beneficial, but in this hour, you’ll discover why Cradle to Cradle might actually be much more useful, approachable, optimistic, and attainable than you may ever have thought possible.
