Stories With A Heartbeat - Episode 6 - The Bridge

Sustainability in the built environment mainly discusses issues related to energy and water efficiency, technology integration, evaluation of true environmental costs. However, without features to celebrate human life, culture, spirit and place, how will our buildings and cities inspire others to value environmentally responsive outcomes? 

The Living Building Challenge mandates 'Beauty' to be part of the performance brief to 'recognise the need for beauty as a precursor to caring enough to preserve, conserve, and serve the greater good'. 

Our Living Building Conversation #16 discusses how our buildings, neighbourhoods and cities are opportunities to inspire our communities through delight and become an embodiment of sustainability values. 

Our panel includes: 
- Josephine Evans - Director at JPE Design Studio
- Nick Stokoe - Associate at Cundall 
- Christopher Burthurmarr Crebbin - Artist and Host of Yarnin' Country on Radio Adelaide 
- Sascha Frost - Design Manager at Walker Corporation
