Join us for Lab 38 – a dynamic conversation with Kavita Gonsalves and Sarah Burns exploring urban design in a changing climate.

LAB 38 delves into how climate change is driving transformation in urban design research, practice and education and examines how emerging technologies contribute to shaping resilient, future-focused urban environments.

Kavita Gonsalves, Sustainability APAC Design Lead at Populous, applies a ‘research to design’ approach to drive sustainable innovation. She brings extensive experience in sustainable systems processes, sustainability audits, green building rating systems, and sustainable architecture education. In her current role, she develops and leads place-centric interventions that shape sustainable futures at the intersection of people, place, and technology

Sarah Barns is undertaking a Vice Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellowship at RMIT, where she investigates emerging organisational sensibilities and place strategies that support platform civics in an era of climate vulnerability. As a multidisciplinary scholar-practitioner, she focuses on how digital technologies shape responsive urban design and drive place-based strategies for climate resilience
