So, what is the New Normal?
Forum For Responsible Building (FRB) is revisiting and reviving the New Normal conversations as Bakstage Podcast called “So, what is the New Normal?”.
The conversations are based on our E-book The New Normal: Within me, around me - a compilation of conversations and reflections on ways to bring back balance between nature and humans, environment and economy, development, and sustainability. The book captures in-depth, nuanced conversations with FRB members about concepts, innovations and self-to-society transformation ideas that could be taken up to positively impact our lived realities.
