”How can a building or urban structure help to form relationships?”Diversity, connectivity and creativity. Three components that make a city and its buildings great. Buildings also have a big role in creating ties between people. Although, what happens when we build buildings that are really hard to react to? In this talk Åsa Bjerndell, architect at White asks whether it’s worth losing the city’s atmosphere for sustainable buildings.The talk was a part of a lunch seminar about ”The City” as a platform to innovate on, both from a human, tech and community perspective. We spy great opportunities to use the platform of cities to deal with democracy, integration, life etc. Accordingly ”The City” will be one of the topics at this The Conference 2016.
