Her overarching goal is to confront substantial challenges within the built environment by placing social and environmental justice at the forefront. Ina advocates for an architecture that enriches all aspects of life, extending its impact beyond humans to encompass the diverse range of species, ecosystems, and genes on Earth. Her primary focus lies in addressing climate change, recognized as the most critical design problem of our time. She believes that decades of negligence and irresponsibility towards our environment have inflicted irreparable harm across various facets of life, including the food chain and water systems, which are fundamental to human economies. In her research endeavors, Ina strives to contribute to the development of novel approaches to design with ecological awareness, countering the detrimental effects of non-renewable energy sources, unethical consumerism, and unsustainable agricultural practices that have exploited emerging economies, leading to humanitarian crises such as food insecurity, mass displacement, human rights violations, and climate change.
