We are excited to have partnered with the Urban Land Institute (ULI) for a sold-out Holcim Foundation Fellowship Talk on "Decarbonization at Scale". Felix A. Ciampa, Executive Director of ULI New York, and Laura Viscovich, Executive Director of the Holcim Foundation, kicked off the event by highlighting our shared commitment to decarbonization, knowledge sharing, and excellence. The talk featured a dynamic panel of sustainable design and construction experts: Chas Peppers from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), Dan Brodkin from Arup, Kritika Kharbanda from Henning Larsen, and Saba Carmel Meidany from the Holcim Foundation. Key topics included: - The role of the next generation in driving change - Collaboration and breaking down silos across the industry - Knowledge transfer and scaling innovations - Addressing risk aversion in the industry - Decarbonization goals in developed vs. developing countries David Benjamin, a previous Holcim Foundation Award Winner, moderated the discussion and left us with a powerful takeaway: “Anything we do is going to have risks [...] we need to develop the intelligence and creativity of balancing the risks of one option versus another option.” A heartfelt thank you to all attendees, including our first North America Fellowship cohort, and to AIA New York | Center for Architecture for hosting this inspiring event!
