Through expert mentorship, these trainees amplify native voices and leadership, integrating traditional practices to address global issues and climate injustices.

Driven by a passion for justice, these trainees develop skills as frontline activists and change-makers. As an IYI Crew, they aim to shape a future rooted in Indigenous values and stewardship, fostering respect for Earth and cultural heritage.

Our laughably inefficient buildings account for some 40% of all U. S. primary energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, our built environment also very often sickens, oppresses and alienates the humans who inhabit it. Bioneers is thrilled to bring together for the first time two of the most visionary architects of our time, who, coming on very different career paths, are both at the forefront of radically expanding our sense of what a truly healthy, nature-honoring and socially equitable built environment could look like.

Deanna Van Buren, the co-founder and Executive Director of Designing Justice and Designing Spaces, is a leading figure in the movement to build “restorative” infrastructure that addresses in its very design the root causes of mass incarceration—poverty, racism, unequal access to resources, and the criminal justice system itself.

Jason McLennan, arguably the most influential “green” architect of our era, has set a high bar, showing us what truly “living,” genuinely regenerative buildings can be. Can these two very different but equally imperative re-visionings of how we rethink the built environment be reconciled/synthesized?

This conversation was moderated/hosted by Dawn Danby, co-founder of Spherical.
