Innovative Design and Sustainable Solutions
The way we still build today has a huge impact on the climate. Resources of fossil and mineral materials are running out, resulting in a scarcity of building materials and a negative impact on nature, people, and the environment. John Drissen imagines a world where everything is designed to be recoverable, reusable and regenerative.

Environment and sustainability
As architects, we have a great responsibility to build the environment of the future. With cities becoming more dense and space increasingly scarce, it’s important to consider sustainable systems that are in balance with the environment A responsible design strategy takes into account the efficient use of resources, careful selection of materials, and minimizing their quantity. Removable construction systems can enable and facilitate future transformations. Let’s take small steps towards achieving a bigger goal.
