This lecture series, a collaboration between Arcam and the Academie van Bouwkunst Amsterdam, explores how designers can contribute to a resilient future by moving beyond modernist principles. Featuring inspiring speakers, it focuses on community-driven solutions and designing for awareness and zero footprint within climate challenges.

The '1.Lectures – Repair and Renewal' series, presented by Arcam and the Academie van Bouwkunst Amsterdam, invites students and interested individuals to explore design within the context of climate challenges. The series aims to foster a critical perspective on modernist ideals, recognizing that designers are part of a global production system with a significant carbon footprint. It encourages moving beyond the notion that architects solely make the world better, instead focusing on designing for awareness, zero footprint, and 'Repair and Renewal'. The lectures serve as a source of knowledge and discussion for climate-related issues, engaging with thinkers who challenge existing ideas and promote community-focused solutions, building for future generations. Speakers like Wagon Landscaping, BC Architects & Studies & Materials, and others contribute to this ongoing dialogue.
