CITY IN NATURE

In current debates, there's a lot of talk about climate-friendly,
sustainable construction. This is something that has been practised
in Asia for many years – on the one hand, out of the necessity to
offer as many people as possible a liveable home in a dense city
environment, but also because it has been politically desired and
regulated by law. For 28 years, Singapore-based WOHA has focused on
designing integrated architectural and urban planning solutions to
address 21st century issues such as climate change, population
growth and rapidly increasing urbanisation. Today in our podcast,
we talk with Schirin Taraz-Breinholt from WOHA about what this
involves in detail and where a simple rethink can have a big
effect.
