Today I talk with architects Nicolai Bo Andersen (professor KADK) and Søren Nielsen (ex-partner at Vandkunsten and professor at Aarhus School of Architecture) about whether we should stop building and focus on transformation. We explore sustainability, ethics in architecture, and why it’s time to rethink our impact. We talk reflecting on the recent ⁠ByggestopBevægelsen⁠ - posing an important question whether the global north should still build new buildings.

Rozmawiamy o tym, jak przekształcać istniejące budynki, zamiast budować od nowa, dlaczego etyka i legislacja są kluczowe w projektowaniu oraz jak zmiany klimatyczne wpływają na wybór materiałów budowlanych.

Welcome to the newest episode, where I sit down with Helle Søholt—CEO and Founding Partner at Gehl: Making Cities for People—to reflect on a quarter-century of shaping better cities and to explore what lies ahead.

In our conversation, we discuss Gehl’s 25-year journey, from hand-drawn sketches to the use of smart data. We talk about why social infrastructure must evolve faster than urban sprawl, and how to find the right balance between analog and digital approaches to city-making. We also explore the importance of radical collaborations in addressing complex urban challenges and highlight the need for human-scale climate action that puts people first.

W tym odcinku z Wiktorem Kowalskim z Buro Happold, inżynierem budowlanym, rozmawiamy o kluczowych aspektach roli inżyniera w projektach budowlanych, współpracy z architektami oraz znaczeniu komunikacji w zespole projektowym.

In this episode of Nocturnal Cities, we explore the roots of night-time governance with pioneers Mirik Milan, former Night Mayor of Amsterdam, and Lutz Leichsenring, nightlife advocate and Clubcommission Berlin board member. Together, they co-founded VibeLab to support global nighttime culture.

Welcome to The Nocturnal Cities series together with Andreina Seijas — a global expert in nighttime urban governance. Our discussion launches a timely and much-needed exploration into how cities function after dark.
