6 changes to make design more sustainable | Markus Berger | TEDxRISD

Professor Markus Berger presents a revolutionary blueprint for architectural and design education and practice in an era of rapid change and persistent uncertainty. Confronting the inadequacies of traditional models, his talk, 'Design Futures: Reparative Thinking in Uncertain Times,' offers a timely critique and a visionary alternative. Berger’s concept of 'reparative thinking' is not just a methodology; it's a mindset shift crucial for sustainability and social responsibility in design. Berger dissects and rebuilds our understanding of making and mending our built environment through the lens of his work in the Repair Atelier. His influence extends beyond academia, challenging the ethics and aesthetics of modern architecture while championing transformative repair and change. Join Professor Berger in reimagining the future of design, where every broken piece is a seed for a new beginning, urging us towards a more thoughtful engagement with the world we build and inhabit. Markus Berger is an artist, designer, writer, and Professor of Interior architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), a registered architect (SBA) in the Netherlands, and founder and director of The Repair Atelier: an art/design workshop that investigates and activates ideas of reuse. His work, research, writing, and teaching critique the ethics, aesthetics, and values of modern architecture and focus on forms of change and repair in art, architecture, and design. Berger co-founded Int|AR, the Journal on Interventions and Adaptive Reuse (2009- 2019) which addresses such issues as preservation, conservation, alteration and interventions. His latest co-edited books are: Intervention and Adaptive Reuse: A Decade of Responsible Practice, (Berger, Wong), Birkhauser, 2021; and Repair: Sustainable Design Futures, (Berger, Irvin), Routledge, 2023. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
