From material engineering, to building automated living scapes or regenerative solutions of systemic scale at a terrestrial or ultra-planetary level, these practitioners show us radical collaboration across industries, forms of knowledge and storytelling, plugging us into a future-present of wonder, hope and concrete potential.

Here we dive into an expanded sense of building “with” the environment, learning how to improve our ways of crafting strategies in which new alliances among stakeholders - creatives, companies, governments and communities can be effected to ensure an equitable and sustainable future, for humans and the environment.

Bringing forward best-practice case studies and stories form the industry of fashion, food and manufacturing where sustainability and circularity have become central mantras of their structural transformations and operations, this panel is presented in partnership with the pioneering Ellen Mac Arthur Foundation (UK).
