The first talk that Dezeen is hosting as part of Velux's Build for Life online conference focused on what architects and designers can learn from the outcomes of COP26.
The talk saw Dezeen's editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs in conversation with Cécile Brisac, founder of Brisac Gonzalez, Christopher Trott, head of sustainability at Foster + Partners, and Cassie Sutherland, programme director at C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group.
The discussion focused on COP26 in Glasgow, which finished on 12 November. Fairs, Brisace, Trott and Sutherland discussed the outcomes of COP26 and what the built environment can take from it in order to reinvent cities.
The talk also discussed how practices can work to develop community-friendly environments and the challenges that stand in the way of architects and designers in light of COP26's outcomes. The talk is part of three panel discussions that Dezeen is hosting and live-streaming as part of Build for Life, a free online conference organised by Velux.
