AMID THIS TERRIFYING CLIMATE CRISIS, DESIGNERS NEED TO STEP UP

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

At the World Design Congress in London, architect Indy Johar warned that climate change will radically reshape society, from infrastructure to inequality, and urged designers to confront this reality with radical new ideas. Speakers, including Johar, Leland Maschmeyer, Sarah McCullough, and others, argued that design must move beyond aesthetics to rewire society's desires, create joy in sustainability, and embrace responsibility for shaping a livable future, because, as Tori Tsui reminded, the world is at the mercy of designers' imagination.
