#013 - Kourosh Salehi, LWKP - Sustainability Doesn't Need To Be Expensive

Kourosh Salehi is the Design Director at global architecture firm LWK +Partners, and he's based in Dubai.  Kourosh shares his extensive journey in architecture, emphasizing the critical role of "contextual metabolism" in shaping cities and buildings that reflect the cultural, environmental, and social fabric of their settings. Kourosh challenges the notion that sustainability is an expensive luxury, proposing instead that thoughtful, well-integrated design can lead to long-lasting solutions.  Hear Kourosh’s stories about specific projects where he has successfully applied his philosophy of contextual metabolism, demonstrating how architecture can foster community engagement, economic stability, and environmental health. Expect to learn how artificial intelligence and virtual reality are changing the way big architects visualize and execute projects, benefiting the sustainable and functional aspects of our urban spaces.
