Emotional experience of space through radical greening

A wind turbine stands in a ripe wheat field, a road passes in the foreground, a forest stretches out in the background, the sky is blue with a few small clouds; how can renewable energy plants be planned and designed so that they are not only functional - but also compatible with the landscape and accepted by society? A vhw webinar on dialogical planning of energy landscapes explored this question. Photo: Bernd Dittrich on Unsplash

B6 with UNStudio

Having a network of experts is at the heart of UNStudio's professional ethos. The Curated issue, which UNStudio created together with Baumeister, is eloquent testimony to this.

topos 128: Biophilic Cities

The cities of the future are nature-based – or at least they should be if we want to live in them tomorrow. While the building of cities was once a symbol of humanity’s victory over wild nature, today more and more metropolises are trying to bring nature back.
