IIDA SoCal Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Presents Designing for Sustainable Equity
The “Designing for Sustainable Equity” panel discussion addresses pressing issues in our society and connects the dots between the Environmental, Social, and Governance pillars of sustainability, particularly in many of our neighborhoods and disadvantaged communities are on the receiving end of irresponsible overproduction, manufacturing and development practices that affect their health, cultural identity and social standing in the society.
The panel will address key issues and highlight opportunities that Design professionals should consider when designing new buildings, repurposing old structures, or selecting building products, as well as the consequences of their actions.
Panelists will address key issues, including policies, Adaptive reuse practices, Community Health and wellbeing, and the use of new and recycled materials in our projects, all of which have far-reaching implications for communities.
