“How to Design Sustainable Habitats for Sustainable Habits”

By now, it is more than clear that our current societal systems does not offer the right long-term solutions for global or local problems. We have to make essential changes in how we approach and do things. This webinar focuses on the role that physical design can play in contributing to such a more sustainable future and a world of “equilibrium”. However, designing and constructing buildings within a circular approach is only one part of the game, because design has a far greater potential than we generally realize and utilize. Not only is it able to initiate behavioral changes, it is also capable to help bring about a shift in awareness, the driving force of human behavior. And only by also addressing our way of thinking and our mind-set, is lasting sustainable behavior change possible. The design of a physical environment can do its part by influencing how we feel and how we behave, which in turn influences how we design. In the webinar five design strategies will be presented on how to create sustainable habitats that help elicit and support sustainable habits.
