Lecture description

Construction consumes more resources and produces more waste than any other sector. Cradle to Cradle flips the perspective: buildings become material banks, and once their use is over, their components and raw materials go back into the cycle at the same quality. The co-founder of the concept explains why design for disassembly and healthy materials will become the most important design criteria of the next decade, and why building ‘less badly’ isn't enough.
