Yet urban biodiversity—the variety of plant and animal life that exists within city boundaries—is emerging as a crucial factor in building resilient, livable, and sustainable urban environments.
Circular material strategies offer a transformative path forward—shifting the industry from a linear “take-make-waste” model to one that values reuse, regeneration, and resource efficiency.
From air quality sensors to real-time water flow monitors, this infrastructure doesn’t take up space, yet it profoundly shapes how cities respond to climate challenges. It’s not about building more—it’s about building smarter.
"Quiet architecture" is emerging as a thoughtful response—an approach that integrates acoustic performance into the design and planning of spaces from the outset.
