MAKE DESIGN MATTER: SEEDS India [June 2020]
MAKE DESIGN MATTER is a series of monthly inspirational talks for humanitarians. Article 25, in partnership with the BRE Trust and venue host John McAslan + Partners, are bringing together outstanding design professionals who work to support the most vulnerable in society across the developing world. These inspiring monthly panel discussions consider the pursuit of progressive, sustainable architecture which focus on the communities they serve.
Meet the architects and designers at the forefront of creative and positive change in building design for international development.
SEEDS (Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society) had one ultimate goal when it began in 1994: protecting the lives and livelihoods of people affected by disasters. Today, they persist along the same path, continuing to focus on integrating locally based approaches into each of their programmes. Behind this work lies a diverse SEEDS team consisting of young professionals from various development-related fields. It is governed and advised by a board of academicians and practitioners from international organisations.
Over the years, this team of committed individuals, has reached out to families affected by earthquakes, floods and cyclones; restored schools and homes; and has invariably put its faith in education to build long term resilience of the communities. SEEDS continues to advocate for and work with communities across Asia to build a safer and more sustainable world.
