Sustainability’s Role in Design

If sustainability and the human experience were at the forefront of architectural design, what changes would we see? Live from Autodesk University 2024, Nehama Schechter-Baraban joined the podcast for an important conversation on the intersection of technology and nature, how Revit plays into effective landscape architecture modeling, the potential for healthier and greener urban spaces, and how sometimes, all that’s needed to innovate an industry is a new point of view. Nehama Schechter-Baraban is Chief Operations Officer of Arch-Intelligence. She is a landscape architect graduate of Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and a Revit expert. TODD TAKES Context Matters in Design:It's crucial for architects to consider how their buildings interact with the surrounding environment. Whether it's grading the landscape or understanding the site’s topography, integrating context ensures the structure fits naturally into its setting, enhancing both the human experience and the project’s efficiency. Sustainability as a Mindset:Sustainable design goes beyond specific tools; it’s about designers having a mindset focused on environmental impact. From choosing native plants to minimizing land disturbance, sustainability is achieved by making conscious design choices that benefit the ecosystem and reduce costs. Simplifying Technology for Designers:The goal of innovation in design technology is to remove barriers, making tools more intuitive and accessible. This way, designers can focus on creativity, sustainability, and human-centric design rather than struggling with complex software. Thanks for listening!
