April Themed Reading: Building a Greener Future!
This month’s featured title is Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things by William McDonough and Michael Braungart—an inspiring call to redesign the way we build, manufacture, and live. Proudly sponsored by ASSA ABLOY.
Instead of minimizing harm, this book dares us to design for abundance—where materials are endlessly reusable, energy is renewable, and buildings actively contribute to environmental health. A must-read for architects and designers striving to create a truly sustainable world.
For the perfect eco-conscious reading experience, pair it with:
Herbal Tea – Clean and calming, like a system in harmony with nature.
Fresh Green Juice – A vibrant reminder of renewal and vitality.
A Morning Walk – Reflect on how design can give back to the planet.
