Architects conceptualize the future of sustainable building

Trend - Carbon-negative materials, structures and concepts related to architecture are being thought out and in some cases, created in response to the growing need for architecture that benefits the environment instead of taking away from it.

Insight - As industries look to the future, they're increasingly forecasting that sustainability will be a crucial aspect of their business models. The need for infrastructure, products and services that benefit the environment is growing as climate change worsens, and consumers and institutions alike are putting a greater focus on sustainability.
Workshop Question - How is your brand authentically prioritizing sustainability?
