Join the Council on Open Building for a timely discussion with Joshua Lee and Joseph Murray, authors of the newly published book Sustainable Design for Uncertain Futures: Dialogues on Time-Based Architecture. The session will introduce the book and situate Open Building among thirteen time-based strategies that serve as an agenda for future dialogue and practice. The speakers will explore how these approaches help designers respond to uncertainty, climate change, technological shifts, and evolving social needs, offering practical frameworks for adaptable, resilient, and sustainable design.

Learning Objectives:

1. Improve building performance through flexibility

2. Accommodate future adaptations by separating components with different lifespans

3. Utilize Open Building principles to heighten the sustainability impact of architecture

4. Respond to uncertainty, climate change, technological shifts, and evolving social needs through practical frameworks
