  • "I have long asked so many of the questions implicit to your exploration here, this was fabulous to read! "
    on: Microfactories for a Mountainous Problem
  • "Wow, to hear that companies as high-impact/influential from a commercial perspective (ie BMW) are taking circularity seriously feels really crucial. "
    on: Scaling Up Design for Disassembly
  • "i understand what you're saying, though i do not agree with it. from these comments, it doesn't feel like you understand "racism." it is not applicable here b/c the structure of supremacy/superiority is not existent in the context of what this grant offers. "promoting racism" is moot here. exclusion is one thing, and yes, this is an exclusive offer. it is targeted toward a specific population in order to support them, because they (Black women designers) have not always had the same systems of support to develop careers of the same caliber that white designers have had. it's about capital and community etc. for your reference, the female design council (as well as its upcoming endeavors, akin to this grant) actively promotes womxn- identifying POC on the whole, which includes Asian womxn (including Indian/East/South Asian), Native American, and more. responding to the "plight" of women at large is the whole purpose of the organization... appreciate your acknowledgement of the FDC's positive intentions. as we both know, though, impact is what's actually measurable."

  • "Loved this read. Thinking of adaptive reuse in architecture, how positioning for circularity is accessible across design-build sectors in so many forms... if the intentionality is there! (Also truly rethinking my kitchen wares investments!!) "
    on: Design for Disassembly: This Old Idea is the Wave of the Future
  • "Just a thought... I wonder how sustainability certifications (in timber or plastics e.g.) could work in tandem with craft-based methodologies somehow to help guide the whole economy of making toward circularity. If all materials were used with these disassemble-able, bio-reusable making methods, that could be really dramatic -- or if there were sort of reciprocal requirements for certification, e.g. where not only is the MATERIAL certified, but the usage also has to be too. I don't know... crossed my mind as I read these beautiful anecdotes from Jonsara! "
    on: Looking Back to Save the Future
  • "I feel like I knew so little about IKEA's sustainability efforts prior - I wonder what other companies are leading the charge in this realm that are flying under the radar with their efforts. E.g. I know sustainable furnishings council is full of companies inclined toward innovation, but that maybe aren't all the way 'there' with their progress or are still in development phases. Nice to know when the big brands are catching the wave!!! Great piece, Sarah! "
    on: An Armchair, A Sustainability Audit,and the Circular Future
  • "Thanks for the note! I like it too, but don't love the over-saturation of anything (granted, it's just my personal algorithm's homogeneity to blame!!). Also feels good to know a little more about where 'trends' are actually coming from. Glad you were into the conversation! "

  • "Echoing Stuart's thanks - appreciate the catch! "
    on: What's Up with Caning in Furniture Design, and Why is it All Over My Social Media Feed?
  • "As always, your perspectives introduce me to new angles on & considerations for aspects of design I'm actively thinking about. This should be a required article for architects! "
    on: Spare Some Room for a Hedgehog?
  • "Wow!!! Didn't know ANY of this. So interesting. (You go, pioneers of the mate straw!) Thank you John for framing the current/necessary oppression of the plastic straw into a helpful history + call to action for design peoples. "
    on: Straw: The Original Straw
  • "Thank you, John!! "
    on: Contoured Playgrounds, Landscapes, Sculpture: Profiling the Childlike Genius of Isamu Noguchi
  • "That criticism is misplaced. White male support is the default / the given for our industry (and country, etc.). There is nothing sexist about supporting woman-identified people and nothing racist about supporting POC."
