U.S. buildings are highly inefficient, accounting for 40% of primary energy use and emissions, and often negatively impact inhabitants. Bioneers brought together visionary architects Deanna Van Buren and Jason McLennan to redefine healthy, nature-honoring, and socially equitable built environments.

Van Buren (Designing Justice) creates "restorative" infrastructure addressing mass incarceration's root causes. McLennan, a leading "green" architect, champions truly "living" and regenerative buildings. This discussion explored how their distinct but vital visions for our built environment can be synthesized.

Moderated by Dawn Danby, this conversation was part of the 2022 Bioneers conference. Find more talks and discussions at bioneers.org.

Alejandro Aravena, tasked with building housing for 100 families in Chile, found inspiration in favelas and slums. Rather than conventional small units, he designed flexible "half-homes" that families could expand. This innovative, simple solution arose from direct collaboration with the families themselves.

Aravena presents three projects demonstrating how clever rethinking leads to beautiful, beneficial design. He emphasizes, "With the right design, sustainability is nothing but the rigorous use of common sense."

Upon moving to Portland's Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood in April 2014, I observed numerous buildings marked "U" for unsafe, two within a single block. This area reportedly has the city's highest concentration of such structures, a regrettable situation for a city proud of its built environment.

Portland is experiencing an unprecedented architectural boom, impacting citizens across many neighborhoods. While the city's Design Review process evaluates new buildings, its most stringent oversight applies only to downtown and a few inner districts.

A panel will explore how Design Review functions, its effectiveness, and potential expansion city-wide. Experts Michael McCullouch, Guenevere Millius, and John Russell will share insights, with Randy Gragg moderating the discussion.

Alejandro Aravena's architectural philosophy is to "bring the community into the process." Ten years ago, when tasked with building housing for 100 families in Chile, he found inspiration in favelas. Instead of small units in large buildings, he designed flexible "half-homes" that each family could expand. This complex problem found a simple solution through direct collaboration with the families themselves.

Aravena showcases three projects where clever rethinking led to beautiful, beneficial design. Learn more at Alejandro Aravena's website, or follow TED on Twitter and Facebook.
