 ct\nThe construction sector is one of the main drivers of mineral extracti
 on and global warming. The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 
 report is explicit: “We are not on track to achieve a climate resilient\
 , sustainable world.” To face our role in the multiple crises\, design d
 isciplines must correct course to enter the production of non-extractive f
 utures—while repairing the damage. Coming from a place of hope\, Charlot
 te Malterre-Barthes will discuss her research\, pedagogy\, and design appr
 oach for architecture and urban design—and how design can harness its or
 ganizing and creative abilities to challenge the current modus operandi of
  space production and global construction.\n\nAbout the speaker\nCharlotte
