METROPOLIS Weighs in on Sustainable Design in the U.S.

“There is an industry-wide effort to get behind detailed material data, and we need to support and help manufacturers produce the information designers need. We want this information to be available so easily that designers can just go back to designing spaces and not even have to think about it. Collectively, we need to create this ecosystem where everything becomes so easy around sustainability that that specialization can shrink. And I think if we can bring about that change from every aspect of sustainable design—whether it’s human comfort, resource consideration, circularity—I think we’ll be supercentered." — Varun Kohli, Director of Sustainability, Corgan
