Conversations in Design 2010: A World Without Oil - Mirko Zardini Part 1

The Interior Design Shows' inaugural Conversations in Design launched on January 21, 2010. Leading designers from around the globe were invited to imagine A World Without Oil at an all-day symposium in Toronto. They shared their practical experiences in sustainable design, and dare to dream of a society that is no longer dependent on oil. The symposium provided critical insight to new and alternative practices, materials, technologies and products. It challenged its audience to think outside the box, and ultimately illuminate and inspire on the provocative subject of A World Without Oil.

Mirko Zardini is the Director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), in Montreal, a post which he has occupied since 2005. Mirko's writings and design projects engage the transformation of contemporary architecture and its relationship with the city and landscape. Mirko opens the symposium by looking at the 1973 oil crisis as a period, which revealed a rich diversity of possible design responses to energy scarcity.
