Takeaways:

You want to design a place where people can gather and enjoy their experience.
As the designer, you can build a beautiful space but it is up to the owner and manager to maintain it and keep it lively.
When designing a space, don’t be afraid to hand it over to and acknowledge someone else’s direction.
You want to create an environment that doesn’t alienate people but instead it bring others together.
Net Zero is a goal to go away from the dependency on fossil fuels and rather sustainable ways of providing energy.
The barriers to any change are institutional practices. If you surround yourself with the right team you can help to change things for the better.
Whatever you are considering building, none of it possible without the use of energy.
