According to a new survey by NBBJ and The New York Academy of Sciences, the majority of scientists say building design impacts where they want to work. So, how can we create research buildings that support the breakthroughs happening inside?
We surveyed 1,059 scientists to find out. Today, we release Part 2 of our survey, focused on sustainability, flexibility and technology.
For example, a resounding 83% of scientists report that it’s important for buildings to reduce carbon and energy—a matter that’s increasingly critical to address given that 60% of modern science buildings do not meet modern sustainability standards.

The survey results are in!
Check out part 2 to learn about our takeaways from connecting with over 1,000 scientists on sustainability, flexibility, and technology in building design.

It is an honor to be included in "Design challenges in creative systems", edited by Paola Cordera and Raffaella Trocchianesi, along with distinguished colleagues. My chapter, entitled "Dialogues with the past_echoes in the future: cultural heritage and the transformation of buildings and cities," explores seminal texts and other related positions that help provide a foundation to note that: "We must bring voice, care, and support to the past, but also to the present and future... Seemingly 'simple' things like cultural heritage and its theories and positions that lead to rules and regulations that ultimately control, limit, or ban creative work in existing built environments are extraordinarily serious, and not only for the creative communities, but also for the public that is being stifled and divorced from an enhanced and transformed continuity of time and place. Additionally worrisome, overly narrow and conservative positions and policies may prefigure, or further articulate, larger problematic political, economic, social, and cultural paradigms. Rather, let us create climates that foster openness, creativity, and innovative work."
We are pleased to announce the release of three volumes authored by faculty members of the Department of Design, published by FrancoAngeli.
The volumes were produced within the framework of the Dipartimenti di Eccellenza initiative, for which the Department was selected by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) with "Design for Systemic Change", a project that addresses the complex challenges of ecological and digital transitions through an integrated and experimental design approach, with the aim of developing circular and sustainable solutions.
“Embracing change and supporting transitions", edited by Stefana Broadbent and Silvia Ferraris, presents a series of studies and reflections on how design is approaching the transition towards more uncertain futures. Starting from a shared understanding that we are facing radical transformations of our physical and social world, the authors embrace a systemic perspective to position the role of design in addressing these challenges.
"Designing ethically in a complex world", edited by Elena Caratti and laura galluzzo, focuses on the ethical challenges of design for public and social systems, attempting to clarify what it means to design ethically in a complex world, within a multifaceted reality in which everything is interconnected and constantly changing.
"Design challenges in creative systems", edited by Paola Cordera and Raffaella Trocchianesi, focuses on the dynamic systems of creativity and culture within diverse design fields, merging theoretical reflections, case studies, methodologies, technologies, tools, and original practices.
The volumes are available in the open-access catalog at this link: https://lnkd.in/dKt4ECwVPolitecnico di MilanoFrancoAngeli | Le conoscenze per innovaresilvia piardiMarzia MortatiAlessandro DesertiPaola BertolaMarco QuaggiottoLuisa CollinaGiuseppe Andreoni#DesignforSystemicChange#designresearch#designpublication

Just published with Andrea Benedetti: "Curating Data for Urban Biodiversity: Three Catalogues on Local Issues in Milan." The chapter explores how online data can inform the implementation of urban biodiversity policies. We contrast dashboards with data catalogues, advocating for visual formats that encourage slow, thoughtful engagement with data and amplify marginalized voices in public debates.
Special thanks to the editors, Stefana Broadbent and Silvia Ferraris, for including our contribution.

"Labs have evolved to be more than just highly technical work boxes; they are social buildings in much the same way as other building types, needing collaborative spaces for scientific interaction and healthy indoor work environments. And they can be more sustainable than ever."
In this Quick Take with Arlen Li, a national leader in HGA’s Science + Technology market sector shares early experiences and influences that shaped his dedication to environmental design, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing responsible materials and highlights strategies our teams employ to deliver sustainable research buildings for leading academic and corporate life sciences clients.

I'm very pleased to share with you the article on my research work in Design for StrOng SustainabilitY (DfSoSy), in open access !
The DfSoSy methodology proposed, is built on three aspects of Strong Sustainability (Milieu, Regeneration, Safe and just operating space) successively applied in a sequenced iterative design process. The latter enable the integration of thought patterns associated with integrative, systemic and fractal or multi-scale thinking respectively. Moreover, the principle of sub-optimality (Olivier Hamant) is highlighted as a decision principle in a SoSy design context.
