About this conversation
Smart buildings and healthier urban environments are about more than technology. They involve sustainability, adaptive reuse, carbon, water, public space and the way people actually live in cities.
Stephen Drew speaks with Winka Dubbeldam of Archi-Tectonics about sustainable infrastructure, smart buildings, sponge city thinking, adaptive reuse, academia and how architects can design more resilient urban environments.
The conversation covers:
How hybrid buildings can support more sustainable urban infrastructure
Why sponge city thinking matters for future development
How adaptive reuse can create new value from existing buildings

You might actually wanna watch this one cause we got some beautiful buildings as well. Yeah, I know.
