Featured Project: Jaypee Sports City
Jaypee Sports City is a new city for 1 million residents in Uttar Pradesh, India, designed to achieve 50% water & energy savings by bringing the city in harmony with nature.
“Design futurism acknowledges that solving for climate requires a complex field or network of solutions. Design is the act of weaving these multi-sector solutions together in systemic coordination. Like a conductor to an orchestra, design provides the future project with a guiding vision - a pattern toward which to direct the weave.”
— Zain Ellis
