Episode 73 - Planetary Boundaries: The New Building Code of Earth feat. Karl-Martin

7 out of 9 planetary boundaries have already been crossed. That’s seven critical global processes that regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth.

For years, sustainability in construction has focused primarily on carbon. But planetary boundaries introduce something far more systemic. They redefine the limits within which humanity, and therefore our industry can safely operate.

In today's episode of Inventing Construction, we sit down with Karl-Martin, senior advisor in architecture, strategic planning and innovation, to explore a difficult but necessary idea:

What if planetary boundaries are not just an environmental framework, but the new building code of Earth?

What you'll learn from today's episode of Inventing Construction:

- What are Planetary Boundaries?
- The current blind spots of sustainable construction
- What would Planetary Construction look like?
- Introducing "Planetary Pathways"
- A case study: Calculating a building’s full planetary footprint
