Speakers & Moderator

Leading approaches in multisystemic design

Each building, however small, has many systems talking to each other. For instance, a building’s envelope affects its air conditioning needs, which in turn impacts its energy loads. Balancing these pulls and pushes is key to a space’s performance and quality of experience.

Holcim Awards 2023 Gold for North America - 1925 Victoria Park Ave

1925 Victoria Park Ave in Canada is a high-tech and low-cost modular housing solution that re-imagines sustainable apartment living through the design of the first 12-floor near-zero, mixed use rental development in Ontario. The project won the Holcim Awards 2023 Gold for North America.

The webinar will examine how the two featured Holcim Awards 2023 winning projects exemplify multisystemic design with strong metrics and a compelling human-centric focus. In this conversation steered by sustainable design expert and Ecogradia’s editor-in-chief, Nirmal Kishnani, the buildings’ designers will reveal how exactly they “got it done”.
