High ambitions: Are tall buildings sustainable?
Показать описание
Are tall buildings environmental foes or allies?
In the quest to make future cities sustainable, tall buildings have been both extensively vilified and expressly commended.
By increasing density, they can reduce urban sprawl and make cities more efficient. At the same time, they are energy guzzlers; it takes massive amounts of power to build, operate, and maintain them.
How, then, do we determine the path forward?
Find out in this very first explainer video by Ecogradia, where our editor-in-chief and sustainable design expert @Nirmal Kishnani explains:
1️⃣ The evolution of tall buildings through time;
2️⃣ How culture has shaped our perception of skyscrapers;
3️⃣ What problems tall buildings can create, and what they can solve;
4️⃣ Radical new experiments in building sustainable skyscrapers;
And much more!
