From the lens of a Green New Deal Superstudio team of emerging professionals, this session focuses on celebrating process in research through a community-driven framework. This session presents how the methodologies developed through this studio and a non-profit organization can serve as a model for transformative design.

Learning Outcomes:

Understand the perspective and credibility of youth as "hopeful activists" ready and committed to addressing the "multiple pandemics" of our time, including climate change, racial injustice, and “market-generated crises.”
Envision the future of landscape architecture practice as intersectional. Understand the relation and importance of the Green New Deal, economics, and multidisciplinary collaboration when embraced in the design profession.
Understand the principles of “Design Justice” and “Design Advocacy” as decision-making frameworks in research. Landscape architects can “design the process” to best combat the climate crisis.
Reflect on the 21st-century dilemmas and frame landscape architecture as the leading practice in designing and achieving a healthier, more equitable, and more just world for everyone.
