With buildings accounting for 36% of global energy use, addressing the built environment’s impact on climate change is both a moral and business imperative. At Gensler, our goal is to make all the buildings we design net carbon zero by 2030. To achieve this, we are designing buildings that are net zero energy, choosing local and low-carbon materials, leveraging adaptive reuse strategies to bring older building back to life, and designing spaces and cities to adapt to the climate around us. Explore our strategies for designing a resilient and equitable future in Gensler’s latest Climate Action Through Design report below. #climateactionthroughdesign #gensler #genslerdesign #sustainability #climatechange #adaptivereuse #netzero #ESG #earthweek2021 #earthday2021

We’re thrilled to be part of the team impacting the future mobility of our city.

At Gensler, we condemn all acts of hate against the Asian and Asian-American communities. We are horrified by the senseless murder of eight people, six of them ...women of Asian descent, in Atlanta on Tuesday evening. There is a long history of anti-Asian racism and violence in the U.S., and since the beginning of the pandemic, crimes targeting Asian-Americans have dramatically increased. We have no tolerance for racist rhetoric, nor do we condone anti-Asian hate in any form. We are committed to creating a just and equitable future. #stopasianhate #stopaapihate

"Everyone agrees that the city needs more housing for low-income and homeless Angelenos. But steep construction costs, insufficient housing subsidies, and time-consuming regulations have hampered efforts to meet the demand... But what if the design of affordable housing could address these?" Gensler Design Director Roger Sherman shares some insights on housing design solutions and concepts with Los Angeles Magazine, like incorporating sustainable design materials for a more energy-efficient and less-costly housing. #Gensler #housing #designforcommunity #architecture
