LFIA Forum - Sydney

The Living Future Institute of Australia (LFIA) Forum, designed to inspire, engage and dare everyone who attends to think and go beyond. If you believe every act of development must be positive and regenerative this is the Forum for you.

The theme this year is Building Nutrition: Bringing health, happiness and well-being back to the centre of the design discussion, with the topics being biophilic design, urban agriculture, human health in buildings, and delivering a Living Building Challenge Project. Our speakers will challenge the status quo of our industry and share their personal experiences about how to create better outcomes and opportunities for all. In between presentations we will facilitate discussions at each table giving attendees the opportunity to have an opinion, debate, challenge and generate ideas with everyone in the room. Each table will have a set Living Building Challenge Petal to focus on, and attendees will move from table to table for maximum engagement.

The vision of LFIA is to create a future that is socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative. No global movement springs from individuals, it takes an army of people to unite and achieve something this big. So join us to be inspired, challenged and motivated to create a better future.
