This Architects Talk shed light on energy-efficient design on the scale of urban developments. The Swedish architect Stellan Fryxell and the German architect Joachim Eble, both of them trailblazers in the realm of sustainable urban development, talked about the integration and recycling of flows of water, waste and energy on the scale of an urban district. They exemplified their design approaches using two textbook cases of sustainable urban development. Fryxell elaborated on his design for Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm ’s largest urban development scheme, while Eble presented his plan for EVA Lanxmeer, an eco-friendly residential district in Culemborg. The two architects entered afterwards into a discussion, moderated by Arjan van Timmeren. > Read more...

06 Nov 2012 | In Turkey, urban renewal turns out to be a euphemism for thoughtless demolition and new construction.

How do people then respond? > Read more...
