While many currently put little thought into where the water for their shower, garden or kitchen tap comes from, that may soon change as traditional sources for water dry up and disappear.ย ย  โ€œPeople are sometimes taught in school that water is a 'renewable resource', but water isnโ€™t necessarily renewable in the way many people think,โ€ says Mike McKinney, vice president and district manager for PCL Constructionโ€™s civil infrastructure division. โ€œRenewable does not mean unlimited.โ€ Mc...

Exculpatio by Nomad Studio and Global R&D Cemex is a silent demonstration and sculptural space that explores the lack of substantial action on climate change. Hosted in Venice and Switzerland, itโ€™s part of the exhibition called PERSONAL STRUCTURES curated by the European Cultural Centre during the Venice Biennale 2022. The project looks at speech surrounding sustainability through concrete as a creative counterpart. The design morphs and adapts to its environment, and now stands in Switzerland...
