Challenges of 21st Century Architecture. Conversations with Carlos Lamela

Carlos Lamela and René Sanz will discuss the challenges of architecture in the 21st century. In a VUCA environment, architecture and urban planning face the challenge of making cities and buildings more sustainable. Therefore, accessible, efficient, multipurpose, healthy, safe and self-sufficient. Spaces for living, rather than for survival. Energy dependence, the environmental impact of architecture, the scarcity of raw materials, the high technology demanded by buildings to make them increasingly intelligent, require new design approaches and a more productive construction that keeps costs within the purchasing band of demand.
