One world, infinite potential design solutions.
FRAME’s winter issue looks at how we can build a more environmentally conscious society – together.
As I read through all the stories in our sustainability-themed winter issue, I’m struck by a focus on and acknowledgement of the interconnectedness of all life, as well as a strong belief in the role designers can play in preserving and strengthening that connection. Many of the projects featured in the pages of FRAME 159 aim to reconnect people with the land through architecture and design, whether it’s by using local building materials, incorporating endemic vegetation or boosting local biodiversity. Another way of reconnecting people with the land that has proven prominent in this issue is by encouraging them to get involved in the environment, thus fostering environmental stewardship.
This issue shows that fully recognising the world as an interconnected system can lead to more sustainable design solutions that promote community, wellbeing and regeneration. And that embracing the links between culture and nature can foster sustainable practices in which local and global actions work together, and every part of the ecosystem plays a role in maintaining balance.
