"Is optimism the most radical climate tool we have?"
This conversation brings together architects Lindsey Wikstrom and Sierra Bainbridge, designers, thinkers, and authors who are redefining public space through regeneration, material experimentation, and ecological imagination. Through a discussion of their current thinking and respective books, together Wikstrom and Bainbridge will explore how design can move beyond crisis narratives to cultivate resilience, care, and the possibility of flourishing.
