As life has drastically changed for many of us in the past year, we begin to look at our spaces differently. We not only spend the majority of time within our homes, but also in the spaces between our homes. For most of us, however, these spaces were not designed in order to promote health and wellbeing.

We are facing truly global issues in the 21st century that are causing people to raise the alarm to design differently. Amira Ayoub from Cairo, Egypt is one of those people. Amira is USGBC LEED & WELL Faculty, a Living Future and Fitwel Ambassador, and is is the founder of the Living Future Cairo Collaborative and was also awarded as a Living Future Hero for 2019.

Jason McLennan calls himself a "professional troublemaker." For his entire career Jason has been pushing the boundaries on what is possible in the built environment. To him, sustainable and regenerative design shouldn't be something we need to have a label for — it should just be the way.
