Sustainability is now a key consideration in the design,
construction, and operation of buildings and cities.

But in the pursuit of sustainability, have we forgotten the needs of those who occupy these spaces?

People are feeling isolated at home and at work. Yet they crave connection with each other and their environment.

We need to align with nature by redefining how we live, work and play.

Our environment affects our well-being and influences our behaviour.

Architecture can be transformational when alignment with nature is fundamental to design and delivery.

As architects we hold a responsibility to create spaces that support human well-being and natural diversity.
