SUSTAINABILITY BY DESIGN

How to design responsibly in industry 5.0
The store features a ceiling installation made from cornstarch foam The foam was also used to form small shelves
The question is no longer whether sustainability matters, but how the Philippines can apply Industry 5.0 principles to its design landscape.
While we do have layered challenges in the Philippines to address, from the institutionalization of training and education on sustainability, to the implementation of building codes to protect the general public, some questions we'd want to ask ourselves include:
Can developers commit to circular and regenerative building practices?
What policies can support sustainability as a national standard?
How do we educate and engage clients, businesses, and consumers in responsible consumption?
How can designers push the boundaries of sustainable design with circularity and longevity as a consideration at every stage of the design process?
How do we ensure these principles get inculcated into the hearts and minds of our clients and influence their behavior?
