#080 - 8 Ideas Every Architect NEEDS to Hear About Sustainability

from Building Green · host Ladina Schöpf

What if the version of sustainable architecture we talk about isn't the version we actually build?After 80 conversations with architects, engineers, scientists, and urbanists, I revisited the eight moments I haven't been able to stop thinking about. These are the conversations that challenged assumptions, exposed uncomfortable truths, and changed how I think about sustainability, design, and the built environment.If you're interested in sustainable architecture, green building, urban design, climate action, regenerative design, or the future of the built environment, this episode is a great place to start.Featured episodes:• Episode 1 – Gaia Sonzogni: The sustainability premium in luxury? Five or six percent. Which is nothing.• Episode 15 – Tomislav Domes: A building lowered the homicide rate. Architecture as public health.• Episode 66 – Mikael Colville-Andersen: Urbanism is medicine. I know that now, because I worked in a war zone.• Episode 31 – Gayatri Keskar: Not all renewable materials are the same. Wood isn't automatically sustainable.• Episode 16 – Paul Schwarz: We're obviously not the only creatures on this planet.• Episode 32 – Paul Patterson: LEED Platinum doesn't mean you have an energy-efficient building.• Episode 44 – Zak Kostura: AI is going to push you towards the most mediocre decisions.• Episode 30 – Graeme Labe: True luxury is sleeping under the stars. No five-star hotel gives you that.Join me, Ladina, on this green journey, and don't forget to subscribe for more insightful conversations about sustainable living and architecture and drop us a review.
