Design Can build less

How do we reconfigure the building process? How do we deal with all the old and useless buildings in a sustainable way? What’s the role of architects in today’s society?  Listen to Enlai Hooi, Katherine Richardson, Morten Grubak, Claire McNally, Mie Levi Fenger and Kristina May giving their input. Award-winning Architect and Industrial Designer Enlai Hooi shares his perspectives with Kristina May, in the first part of the episode. He calls for a future of architecture to be one that blends across more disciplines if this industry is to ever succeed in creating the shared visions it promises. In the second part a panel of five leading profiles from different backgrounds discusses the topic with a broader angle, bringing new perspectives and trying to find solutions for the future of the architecture industry.  Enlai Hooi is the Head of Innovation at Schmidt Hammer Larsen, Copenhagen.
