“With the availability of many resources rapidly dwindling and the ever-increasing irreversible changes to the Earth’s ecosystems, there has never been a more critical time for us to rethink the way in which we design, construct and use our buildings.”
If you haven’t read the report Towards Buildings That Thrive by the Thrive Research Hub from the University of Melbourne – School of Design, now is the time.
