LWK + PARTNERS at 2A ArchTalk 2024: Pioneering Sustainable Urban Design
The 2A ArchTalk 2024, held at Dubai’s Manipal Academy of Higher Education, brought together global architectural leaders for a thought-provoking exchange on how design can drive sustainability, cultural integration, and innovation.
We were proud to have Kourosh Salehi, Global Design Principal, alongside Stephanie Alrahbanie, Architect, and Marija Krsmanovic, Senior Architect, represent LWK + PARTNERS at this prestigious event.
Exploring Cities and Urban Metabolism
In his engaging session titled “Cities and Urban Metabolism,” Kourosh delved into the importance of integrating circular economy principles into urban design. He highlighted how sustainable urban ecosystems can address pressing environmental challenges while enhancing livability and community well-being.
Shaping Human-Centric Cities
Stephanie and Marija introduced various segments at the summit from valuable perspectives on creating designs that balance sustainability with cultural and social contexts. Their participation underscored LWK + PARTNERS’ commitment to shaping cities that are not only resilient but also inspire and empower the people who inhabit them.
A Global Celebration of Architecture and Art
The event featured captivating sessions from thought leaders, including discussions on “Beyond Sustainability” by Grimshaw Architects and “Decarbonizing Spaces” by Dr. Bhakti More. Topics ranged from community-driven design to cultural integration and the role of technology in reimagining architecture for a better future.
The 2A ArchTalk 2024 was a powerful reminder of the transformative role architecture plays in addressing global challenges. We’re honored to contribute to this ongoing dialogue and remain committed to designing for impact, sustainability, and cultural relevance.
We extend our gratitude to 2A Magazine, Manipal Academy, and the event’s organizers for creating such a dynamic platform for global architectural exchange.
