How will the next generation of cities address the challenges of climate change?
4:35 | By taking inspiration from ancient cities, the cities of the future can prioritize public transportation and foster human connection, resulting in reduced emissions and more accessibility.
Floating cities as an innovative response to climate change
28:25 | Sea levels are rising due to climate change. Many coastal cities are at growing risk of flooding. Architects are trying to react to this development with new ideas, such as floating cities.
The big problem with cement, and how to fix it
8:11 | Concrete emits a ton of carbon. Here’s how we get it to net-zero.
What If Buildings Created Energy Instead of Consuming It?
13:32 | Buildings are bad news for the climate — but they don’t have to be. While our structures are currently responsible for a third of global energy consumption and emissions, a future where they create more energy than they produce is possible.
How to Design Climate-Resilient Buildings
14:11 | Taking us to her home of Barbados, where the hurricane season is unforgiving and freak storms are becoming more frequent, Alyssa-Amor Gibbons points to the brilliance of endemic designs that are built to work with nature.
The Sun belongs to everyone
48:51 | Artist Marjan van Aubel argues for a ‘solar democracy’. The moment solar technology is linked to aesthetics and design, a whole new perspective emerges.
How to make concrete green!
12:48 | Concrete accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions and it’s usage is set to skyrocket in the coming decades as the world’s population grows and moves towards more urban environments.
Engineered Timber – building the skyscrapers of our future
12:45 | Modern technology has enabled timber to be engineered in such a way that it can be used as an apparently “carbon negative” replacement for steel in very tall buildings. But can we afford the land required to create vast new timber plantations?
Bioreactor Buildings
10:40 | Algae is one of the most successful organisms on earth, and we humans are only just starting to understand its potential in our climate mitigation challenge.
Why our buildings suck, and how to change them
10:40 | Constructing buildings is awful for the environment. With 60% of the world population set to live in cities by 2030, how can we make buildings…not suck?
How to fix the world’s concrete problem
8:38 | Concrete is simple, cheap, strong and lasts long. But the wonder material that’s all around us is responsible for 8% of global CO2 emissions — and it’s not easy to change that.
Retrofitting to Passive House standards
13:51 | Passive House, or Passivhaus, is an energy efficient building design standard for new builds all over the world. But what about existing buildings that already account for almost 40% of all global greenhouse gas emissions?
Passive House – A low carbon future for our homes?
11:21 | What are the principles of Passive House?
Climate change – living on the water
42:26 | Sea levels are rising faster and faster, threatening 700 million people who live on the world’s coasts. Will water become the habitat of the future?
Sustainable Urban Development
1:01:07 | Modern urban development requires a multi-dimensional design approach to encompass energy-efficient architecture, pedestrian-friendly environment and vibrant open spaces.
The case for wooden skyscrapers
4:39 | How much CO2 would a skyscraper save if a skyscraper was made of wood?
Passive House = 90% Home Energy Reduction!
10:59 | Using the 5 green building techniques explained in this video, Passive Houses need only 10% of the energy that a conventional home uses.

Michael Green: Why we should build wooden skyscrapers
12:22 | Building a skyscraper? Forget about steel and concrete, says architect Michael Green, and build it out of … wood.
