[AWARD] 🌱"Sustainable buildings are more than structures; they're a pledge for a healthier future, a promise to harness today's creativity and resources for tomorrow's resilience" 🌎 🏆 Congratulations to Agathe Grenot whose ESSEC Business School “Global BBA Dissertation” received the Real Estate and Sustainable Development Prize. 👉 The Chaire Immobilier et Développement Durable - ESSEC Global BBA dissertation prize is awarded to the best dissertation dealing with the challenges of decarbonizing the construction and real estate sector. Students are invited to explore solutions based on inspiring and existing examples (political, social, financial, technological, etc.) that could minimize the sector's ecological impact in the future. 💡 With the topic "What leverages can associations in South Carolina use to promote the construction of sustainable buildings?” Agathe Grenot's objective was to find a clear(er) definition of what a sustainable building is, to understand what it stands for, in order to find levers to promote its construction. Her study was based on readings, previous research, interviews and a questionnaire sent to 102 respondents. Finally, this dissertation allows a discussion of the blocks against the construction of sustainable buildings before discussing the levers that can be used by associations to promote the construction of sustainable buildings in South Carolina. 👩‍🎓 We are very pleased to see that young women are taking an active interest in the real estate industry - a field that has long been dominated by men. We hope that work like hers will inspire future female students in our program to pursue their own impactful research in real estate and sustainable development. Thanks to Karoline Strauss for creating this prize and involving us in this great idea. #WomenInLeadership #InnovationInRealEstate #FutureLeaders

Akihiro Yamamoto shares tips at renovating old Japanese houses in countryside - part 4 In this article, although I am not directly discussing renovations, I want to highlight an important step that often gets overlooked. If you've managed to buy your dream home at a surprisingly low price, you're likely eager to start renovating right away. However, it's crucial not to rush into construction. Before you begin any renovations, it's essential to properly acknowledge and communicate with your neighbors, especially in rural areas of Japan. Failure to do so can lead to significant problems down the line.... Full report: https://lnkd.in/g_2F6iYe #ADF #Webmagazine #renovation #npoadf #kominka

The French coworking market model is moving towards less gigantic spaces in Paris and more locations scattered across France. A study by research firm Xerfi reveals that after a doubling of the offering in the last five years, the coworking market in France is entering an era of consolidation. Iconic openings of massive coworking locations are still expected in the coming months - such as a 10.000 m2 project by Spaces. offices | co-working | meeting rooms. in Lyon. However, the rise of interest rates and a demand which grew in a slower mode than the pace of flex capacities development push operators to go nowadays for a more conservative expansion planning. A big deal of the new coworking locations to come will be outside of the Paris region, predicts Xerfi, even if Paris still accounts for 2/3 of the French coworking market. It was 3/4 in 2019. "Our forecast scenario for the evolution of supply reflects this slowdown, with an expected growth of 9% in 2024, then 6% per year in 2025 and 2026 (based on business continuity of WeWork in Paris)", says Vincent Desruelles, the head of studies at Xerfi. "Medium-sized French cities such as Metz, Bayonne or Clermont-Ferrand, for instance, are getting. The brands which grew the most in the last years, such as FLEX-O📲 - Espaces de travail flexibles et écoresponsables , Now coworking, Bureaux And Co, Newton Offices 🍎 Espaces de travail flexibles pour entreprises en mouvement, Startway Coworking & Innovation Centers, etc.), are mainly active in Tier 2 or 3 cities." via Synaphe • Syndicat Coworking & Domiciliation cc Bruno Rebille Maxime Givon Romain Méfret Nadine Saunier Tom Debelleix Dorian MEGY Nicolas Leroy Christophe Courtin Grégory Ortiz Didier Fornetti Jerome Lepoivre Gaël Montassier Mouhamed LALEYE Nordine El ouachmi Maguy Montoya Ludivine BUNEL Romain Laventure

In Tokyo, prices of apartments near train stations are 𝐬𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠! We were interviewed by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (members only article). In Tokyo, the average sales price of newly built apartments located within a 5-minute walk from train stations 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝟏𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨. In addition to the decrease in development land and rising construction costs, one of the factors is that many of the buyers are wealthy foreigners. Therefore, our company, which has expertise in real estate sales to foreigners, was interviewed. Our Sales and Purchase Division shared the following observations: ・"Property prices, which were around 100 million yen before the COVID-19 pandemic, have now soared to the 200-300 million yen range." ・"The buyers are company executives from China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia such as Singapore, and there are many cases of purchasing high-rise apartments near stations as second homes or to rent out." ・"They also seem to find the prospect of higher yields due to rising rent prices attractive." PLAZA HOMES offers a wide range of Tokyo properties for sale. https://lnkd.in/gWgmqQ-V #tokyoapartment #tokyoapartments #tokyorealestate #tokyo #japanrealestate #newapartment #newapartments #highriseapartment #highriseapartments #apartmentforsale #apartmentsforsale #buyapartment

#Paris2024 - What's love got to do with it? The Olympic games have started with a spectacularly queer opening ceremony in Paris, orchestrated by the artistic director Thomas Jolly. It has been an attempt to narrate France's history as one that, by many fights, lead to progress, equal rights (women, LGBTQ and black people), and the culturual richness of diversity. It was a beautiful representation of the diversity of art forms, the diversity of French society, and the "Olympic spirit" of bringing people around the world peacefully together - with sports as a force that can bring out our best. The controversy of the parody on the last supper by drag queens, as well as the omittance of France's other dark sides of history besides the revolution (colonialism - the reason why nation-states are actually represented in Paris; and fascism) however leaves me with a strange after-taste. While art should always remain free, even to provoke, I think that Jolly's goal for "everybody to feel represented" has failed. The Christian church has doubtlessly created endless suffering, including to LGBTQ people. But turning that hate now around by mocking Christians is for me undigested trauma. The Western LGBTQ identity has been one of otherness, a mostly "negative" identity stemming from discrimination - and this may also be its major problem today. Just like Christians, theoretically at least, the LGBTIQ movement is about love. How much love do we however practice if, from whatever side, we nurture hate, exclusion, and ignorance of others' perspectives, as uncomfortable as they may be? Paradoxcially perhaps, both the #LGBTIQ movement and Christian religion seem to be at a turning point. In a world full of hate, and where their narratives face starch resistance, they may both have a need to go back to the sources of the wisdoms they could hold. How can we create spaces in which such perspectives can actually communicate to be truly inclusive? And what story of coming to peace would we write if it was really made with love? "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" Matthew 7:3 #LGBT #Christianism #Communications

Anne Hidalgo just announced that she will not be running for another 6-year term as Mayor of Paris. In her tenure, she has proven herself to be one of very few truly brave politicians. She took her 2014 mandate, and showed that she had the courage of her convictions, and instead of "analysis paralysis", she rapidly set out to make the changes she promised to make in Paris. Not everyone was on board, and any leader who actually makes changes will endure and waken the full forces of the anti-change stakeholders. But after a productive first term, the majority of Parisians sent her back to finish the job in 2020. More importantly, many people who were against her ideas at first, changed their minds and voted for her after seeing the results of the first-term's projects. These changes include abstract concepts like: - Equity, fairness, inclusion, access, addressing the modern city under a changing climate But also concrete changes like: - Hundreds of school streets, where traffic is blocked on blocks with schools, creating an instant playground, pedestrian and cyclist drop-off zone for kids, with NO car danger or idling vehicle pollution. - Changing the riverside freeways into parks for people. You can now walk along the riverside, or jog, bike, rollerblade, picnic, drink & revel. This is prime real estate in Paris she reclaimed for people, not cars. - Cleaner river - Pedestrian improvements and more space - Huge growth in bike lanes - Increased greenery and tree planting - Reduction of "heat island" contributors - Public transit enhancements & system growth - Flood preparedness systems - Efficient centralized citywide piped heat pump systems - Housing supply growth, stabilization of real estate prices And she contributed to shared successes like the 2024 Paris Olympics, transportation and mobility, a cleaner river, a 15 minute city. Paris is now a model city that many other metropolises can and ARE using as a leading example. Was Hidalgo perfect? No of course not - who is? I understand many of the critiques against her, but I believe she delivered on what she promised, and what she was elected to do. That makes her an unusually good politician, who is forward-leading as opposed to just forward-looking.

NEW ON WISe.ART: [ai]scendences, a project of artistic collaboration, dialogues and interactions between Art and generative AI @Silvana Solivella and @Christian Moreillon We are pleased to present [ai]scendences. An artistic project that joins our creative spaces in a concept combining works composed of materiality, spirituality and new technology. A common purpose that reshapes reality in a creative interaction between art, science and generative artificial intelligence. This project comes on the heels of our respective presentations at the "Art & AI, rencontre improbable?" event in Grandson, programmed by curator @jorge_canete_idp www.art-et-ia.com and then at the Aperti edition on "What impact does artificial intelligence (AI) have on the field of art? Will it replace the artist?" These are very pertinent questions, which we echo by opening up a new field of artistic exploration. [ai]scendences questions meaning, illusion and the existence of reality, with the aim of opening up creative terrain, discovering the plastic possibilities of materials and sparking discussion. https://lnkd.in/e3kEiXvh These sculptures made of salt or blown glass, crafted objects drawing their source from materials and ancestral traditions, find a new monumental existence in oniric virtual spaces. Conversely, it is these gigantic sculptures, defying the laws of physics and reality, that find materiality in crystal and blown-glass sculptures, transpositions of monumental installations. To certify the works of [ai]scendences, a selection of them, existing in real and virtual form, are now present on the wise.art platform and the blockchain via NFT: https://lnkd.in/es74Aqw3 Silvana Solivella https://lnkd.in/eVfUffaV Christian Moreillon https://lnkd.in/eNJpjEkt

[🎬 Replay of the discussion with Brune Poirson, Chief Sustainability Officer & Executive Committee Member at Accor, at the Adopt AI #Summit by Artefact] on how to combine the use of AI and environmental transition. Questions by Lucie Marchais, Project Director at Artefact 3000. 👉 Watch and get inspired by Brune Poirson on the Society stage: https://lnkd.in/e8Xup75z 📖 Read the REPORT of Adopt AI with the replays & synthesis of all keynotes & key discussion panels: https://lnkd.in/e8yj2CeN 💼 Brune Poirson, former Secretary of State for Ecological and Environmental Transition (2017-2020), is now the Chief Sustainability Officer at Accor. Poirson’s current mission is to guide Accor, a global hospitality company, toward a #sustainablemodel amidst accelerating climate change and social inequalities. Key insights from the discussion between Brune Poirson and Lucie Marchais: 🔹 For #sustainability, Accor must rethink its business model. As a leading #hospitalitycompany, it opens one hotel per day. The key challenge is shifting from a quantity-based to a quality-based model, transforming hotels into “third spaces” for work, meetings, and activities to optimize underutilized spaces. 🔹 Accor's sustainable operations focus on three areas: #waterconservation by replacing bathtubs with showers, shifting to less meat-based menus to #reducecarbon and water footprints, and promoting bicycles and trains over aviation through partnerships like the one with SNCF. 🔹 AI helps manage large environmental datasets, improve weather predictions, and enhance decision-making. It can forecast climate impacts, aiding industries in planning and adaptation, such as determining where and what type of housing to build. 🔹 For #foodwaste reduction, #AItools like connected scales help kitchens track and reduce waste by identifying patterns and improving menu planning. Predictive tools like “Full Soon” forecast guest numbers and preferences, enhancing efficiency and reducing waste. 🔹 AI enhances personalized guest experiences through advanced #chatbots, tailoring services like room temperature settings. It also frees hotel staff from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on #guestinteraction. Accor uses AI to accelerate employee training and development, empowering staff and providing career growth opportunities. 🗣 “Increasingly, we need to move away from mitigation but really to adaptation, and that's where adaptation is a real challenge and that's where AI can really help,” says Brune Poirson. 👉 Watch all the replays of the Adopt AI Summit: https://lnkd.in/eDxHcR47

The rise of technology in Cambodia’s economy presents both a challenge and a valuable opportunity for the traditional handicraft sector, The unique authenticity of Cambodian crafts, rich in cultural heritage and creativity, possesses an irreplaceable value that technology cannot duplicate. By combining technology with tradition, such as using digital platforms to showcase and expand the market for artisanal goods, there’s great potential to not just preserve but elevate these traditional jobs. This integration offers Cambodia’s artisans the tools to flourish in the modern economy, ensuring that their timeless skills remain a vital and profitable part of Cambodia’s economy and cultural identity.

[Rebranding Project for The Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Department of Chinese History and Culture (PolyU CHC) by Elio Brand Consultancy] This initiative was not just about a new look; it was about capturing the essence of what makes PolyU CHC unique and vital in today’s academic landscape. 📕 Concept Inspiration: The Formation of Jade Jade, a stone prized for its beauty and significance, can only be formed under specific natural conditions and pressures. Its coloration, resulting from the infiltration of mineral elements, symbolizes the transformative journey of knowledge and culture. Just as jade's cracks can lead to vibrant colors, our philosophy aligns with PolyU CHC’s commitment to learning from both the past and present. This duality fosters a diverse understanding and enables scholars to evolve into cultural "jade" through an immersive academic experience. 📕 Brand Motto: Unraveling the Past, Weaving the Future This motto encapsulates the department's mission to explore historical narratives while actively shaping future cultural discourse. It reflects a dedication to a holistic educational approach that honors tradition while embracing innovation. 📕 Scope of Work: What We Delivered Elio Brand Consultancy undertook a comprehensive rebranding for The Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Department of Chinese History and Culture, which included developing a compelling brand philosophy that aligns with the department's mission, creating a cohesive visual identity inspired by the concept of jade, and designing a suite of marketing materials such as brochures and digital assets. Additionally, we collaborated on the redesign of the department's website and social media elements to enhance user experience and developed brand guidelines to ensure consistent application of the new identity across all platforms. This rebranding project reflects our belief that, like jade, the Department of Chinese History and Culture is a treasure shaped by time, experience, and knowledge.
