Description
This guide is about creating homes, buildings, and cities that are better for people and the environment. It's predicted that the Earthʼs population could grow to nine billion people in the twenty-first century, putting more pressure on our environment, using up natural resources, and causing more stress due to overcrowding. In her inspiring book, ''Rebuilding Earth'', Coady offers a hopeful plan for designing the cities, buildings, and homes of the future in a way that is more eco-friendly and humane. Coady explains how we can move away from old, outdated ways of building and embrace new, greener methods that use less material and energy while creating healthier communities. This new approach can lead to a greater sense of purpose, better health, and more happiness. Instead of focusing on negative outcomes, Coady presents an optimistic view of how we can build a better future. This book is for people in construction, design, and development, as well as anyone interested in how our environment affects our well-being.

Host Kamea Chayne asks questions about the book and Coady sheds light on why we need to go beyond thinking about wellness through an individualistic lens to looking at it through a systemic lens; how we've largely been designing our built environments for machines rather than for life and ecological health; and more.

Description
Teresa Coady was the keynote speaker at Sustainabuild Vancouver 2012, where she addressed the need for design to break free of traditional constraints and embrace “quantum” thinking. Coady, who is a founding partner with B+H Bunting Coady and worked with the United Nations, took time out to speak to the Journal of Commerce about her views on the future of architecture and how buildings need to adapt to the natural world rather than servicing vehicles and roads. Embracing digital methods in building and maintaining structures is a path we will have to take in future, Coady said. She termed buildings made in the twentieth century “some of the worst buildings ever built,“ and predicted that future buildings will be much more in tune with their surrounding environment, using daylighting, geothermal heat and other sustainable technologies.
