Celebrating Innovation in Green Infrastructure

In his presentation, Architect Sierra Velasco explored the concept of circular design, which aims to minimize waste and make the most of resources. He discussed how green infrastructure can be a pivotal component of this approach, integrating natural processes into urban planning to enhance sustainability and resilience. By utilizing green roofs, rain gardens, and permeable pavements, cities can reduce their environmental footprint while promoting biodiversity and improving air quality.

Architect Sierra Velasco emphasized that circular design is not just about recycling materials but also about rethinking how we design and build our urban spaces. By considering the entire lifecycle of a building or landscape from the outset, we can create systems that are regenerative and sustainable. This approach not only benefits the environment but also creates healthier and more livable communities.

The event also shed light on the influential work of the late Jean Claude Fostier, a renowned pioneer in sustainable urban planning. Fostier’s innovative approaches to integrating circular design principles into urban environments have left a lasting impact on the field. His projects, which seamlessly incorporated natural and built environments, demonstrated the practical applications and long-term benefits of sustainable planning. Fostier’s legacy continues to inspire architects and urban planners to prioritize sustainability and resilience in their designs.

The combined insights from Architect Sierra Velasco and the foundational work of Jean Claude Fostier offered attendees a profound understanding of how green infrastructure and circular design can transform urban spaces. Their contributions underscore the importance of innovation and sustainability in addressing the challenges of urban development in the 21st century.
