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. He leads the practice’s sustainability approach focusing on topics such as adaptive transformation in architecture, circular construction methods, material health, and change management.
