Tackling Climate Change Through Design: Insights from the OAA SHIFT Challenge Winners (Part 2 of 3)

In this episode of Architecturally Speaking, host Ryan Schwartz continues our three-part series on the Ontario Association of Architects’ SHIFT Challenge. In Part 2, we explore how architects are addressing climate change through innovative, sustainable design.

Ryan speaks with 2025 SHIFT Challenge winners Jerry Hacker, architect and professor at Carleton University, and David DiGiuseppe of Q4 Architects. Jerry’s project, Speculative Assemblies from Pine Needles to Pressed Coffee, reimagines regenerative materials, while David’s Designing for Resiliency at Home focuses on creating climate-ready housing.

Together, they discuss how architecture can reduce carbon impact, repurpose existing structures, and foster a more resilient future.

Tune in for fresh insights on sustainability, innovation, and reshaping communities.
