Hello there Pakira Community, My name is Derick Bedzra and I’m honored to be part of this projectional network of advocates that are working to engineer nature to its truest form of perfection.
I’m the CEO of Monart City an urban technology startup company that’s phasing in the R + D field for Urban Architecture and Planning. Also the founder of the Urban NEXT initiative,my purpose for being a comsiiis contributor is to help develop a framework for building design and construction,with quality features that are able to withstand the impacts of climate change and unconscious human processes/systems in other to promote healthy circular designs.
Starting this Topic “Climate Resilient And Circular Building,An actionable step towards combating global anthropocene” is my way of showing up to this community that has the same and likely synergic interests about complex challenges we face as an industry and global community at large.
For the past three years our works aims to attract a community of participators in the Architecture,Engineering and Construction industry,to this goal we ignited a network for advocacy called “TWIN ,Timber Works Innovation Network” last year in 2022.
This group of multileveler. and multi stakeholder actors 1) set a common frame- work (and narrative) around the goals of the platform , 2) define very specific action to “untangle the issues” the initiative is raising and 3) use this space to create useful connections and rooted relationships,which we @MonartCity refer to as an intermediate financed new sector economy.
I’m looking forward discussing with each and everyone one of you on advising if what the work we passionate about truly aligns with the overall vision of the new economy and clarifying the next steps to take to extending valuable resources and network structures to advancing and implementing bio-based and circular building technologies in Sub Saharan Africa,to scale up the work towards combating global climate change through social-impact initiatives like “Urban NEXT”.
Attached here is a web link that gives more information about the work we are up to,looking forward to hearing from you all.
