Reclaiming Cool, our theme for Conscious Collective 2025, is a movement for heat-resilient design, equitable futures, and climate-responsive living. As temperatures rise and cities become heat traps, “cool” is no longer a comfort, it’s a right. This year we bring together architects, urban planners, artists, conservationists, and communities to reenvision our environments with climate intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and planetary care.
