AIA Seminar – Social Sustainability

About the Seminar:

REFUEL_CPD_FOR_2.0_Mono_BTSocial Sustainability is about ensuring the sustenance of the diverse social relations that exist in healthy communities. Creating the physical, cultural and social places that support wellbeing and a sense of community involves a process of engagement with the people who inhabit and frequent those places. For this reason good design, which promotes social sustainability and aspires to achieve the highest qualities in human relationships, is as much about process as it is about the outcome. The formal design of a physical place is critical, and sustaining good performance from that place over time, is best achieved when the design is integrated with the social infrastructure of the place.

Public policy in Australia and around the world has become increasingly interested in measures of progress that go beyond GDP. There is increasing interest and concern for the performance of public space, livability of cities and the wellbeing of a city’s inhabitants. This presents a great opportunity for Architects and built environment professionals, who are uniquely placed to steward the making, management and development of mechanisms to sustain places of thriving social connection in our cities.

This presentation by Dr Angelique Edmonds will discuss the growing public policy emphasis on wellbeing and performance of public spaces, how we can respond, what this means for innovation in design practice, who is involved in delivering Social Sustainability, why it is important, and what happens if we don’t.

Dr Angelique Edmonds was recently published in Architecture AU on the topic of Social sustainability. Click HERE for the article

Catalyst shows you how to use Design Thinking to enable agency. It is a practical course of 4 workshop sessions over two weeks designed to assist individuals to work through the nature of a challenge they want to address by following a design thinking process. As part of the course, you will work in teams, and can select either to bring along a challenge you want to address, or you may work as a team on a challenge offered by another participant.

Using the structure of design thinking for the sequence of the course is useful because Design thinking is about believing we can make a difference, and having an intentional process in order to get to new, relevant solutions that create positive impact. Design Thinking gives you faith in your creative abilities and a process for transforming difficult challenges into opportunities for design.
