Description

Recently, the so-called “green question” has influenced many aspects of architecture and design, likewise bringing with it implications about the reconsideration of nature and our relationship to it. This instalment of ‘C3’ focuses on green concepts and their varied interpretations in design today. Twelve projects are highlighted, including Singapore’s School of the Arts by WOHA, Surazo Hotel by WMR Arquitectos, S.A. Residence in Dhaka by Shatotto Architecture, and Fasano las Piedras Hotel by Isay Weinfeld. Also in this issue, a feature on Belgian practice architecten de vylder vinck taillieu and ‘On Showing Architecture’, by Diego Terna, on the 13th Venice Biennale.
