FRAME’s sustainability-themed winter issue brings together inspiring and hopeful projects and stories that demonstrate the active role of designers in building a more environmentally conscious society, with the innate understanding that no stakeholder acts or exists in isolation.
Get up to speed with the latest mindful product releases, from biodegradable goods that break down at the end of their life, to furniture that diverts plastic from landfill, and waste – from potatoes, corn, discarded books and more – that becomes lighting, furniture and natural dyes.
Discover four environmentally aware design studios. Find out how the possibilities of biomaterials can be pushed beyond the design industry to promote circularity, how the distinctive aspects of Indonesian vernacular architecture can be integrated into contemporary spaces, how design can play a pivotal role in facilitating a better food future, and how lighting design can become more sustainable and human-centric.
Gain insights into what it could mean to construct buildings using materials ‘mined’ directly from the existing site, how sustainable neighbourhoods could pave the way for a greener future, whether we should be building homes out of cork, and how design can help us live with water, not just fight it.
Learn from global industry leaders how nations that have long struggled with the realities of climate change can move from being living laboratories of disaster opportunism to living laboratories of climate optimism.
Be visually and conceptually inspired by cross-disciplinary creative concepts that show how architecture and design can go further in helping us mitigate the effects of (man-made) ecological emergencies and encourage creatives to act as activists.
