Overview
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.
At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our planet.
Abstract
The professional world today focuses on integrating a futuristic vision in architecture and design within one harmonious creative universe powered by collaboration between professionals, educational, institutions, and industry.
Accreditation of academic programs and certification of architects and designers are the most reliable quality assurance for all facets of the creative ecosystem and the world of Design.
Accrediting bodies and the United Nations knowledge platform strive for the continuous development and improvement of design education across disciplines, and subsequently by bridging academia and the design professions, by means of operating according to a firm set of fundamental ethics.
Certified architects and designers are committed to the values and the learning process at the core of the architecture and design professions, about starting from the base of knowledge and building on the common standards that should drive any architecture and design project such as:
- Designing for generations
- Universal Design
- Sustainability
- Ergonomics
- Natural resources conservation
- Site and Culture preservations
- Continuous education
- Quality assurance and control
- Material verification and implementation
- Innovative design
