Pā Reo, Full Living Certified.
How might we regenerate a healthy relationship with the natural environment and shape communities in ways that reconnect people to ecology and local context? How do we ensure those same environments are inclusive, accessible, and just for all people?
This master class covers the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Equity and Place Petals. Our three live workshops will cover the Petal requirements, explore local case studies, hear from guest speakers and apply the learnings from design through to operations. In our final workshop we will look at the opportunities for positive impact when we consider the Place and Equity Petals together.
