The guest lecture with Indy Johar is part of AHO Sustainability Dialogues, a seminar series on
Shifting practices under global heating
The climate and nature challenge requires new architectural and design practices. As part of a strategic focus on sustainability, AHO hosts a series of competence building sessions. By engaging, creating shared understanding, and encouraging dialogue – the aim is to shift the way we practice at AHO to make us fit for the future. Sustainability affects how we teach our students, research, run our school, and practice our professions. The program is facilitated and hosted by a working group led by Rachel Troye.
