Architect Cameron Sinclair and vegan fashion designer Mats Rombaut are joined by Facebook’s director of product design Margaret Stewart in the third part of our Virtual Design Festival collaboration with The World Around for Earth Day.
The World Around’s Earth Day 2020 symposium, which we are broadcasting today as part of Virtual Design Festival, features talks, presentations, films and essays by over twenty visionaries at the forefront of ecological design.
The third session starts with Cameron Sinclair, co-founder of Architecture for Humanity, a charity that aimed to create architectural solutions to humanitarian crisis around the world. Sinclair presents his new project Jupe, flat-pack intensive care units designed to bolster hospitals impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
This is followed by a conversation between Karen van Godtsenhoven, curator at the Met museum in New York’s Costume Institute, and Mats Rombaut, founder of vegan accessories brand Rombaut (pictured top), who discusses his biodegradable footwear.
Artist Amanda Williams then discusses disparities in Covid-19 cases in Chicago as an enduring effect of redlining, before landscape designer Walter Hood presents his museum projects and reflects on watching landscapes thrive in the absence of people.
