Orange Horizons

Innovations in Dutch Architecture: Greener Cities by Design


Listen Later

From a floating farm in Rotterdam to circular office buildings made entirely from reclaimed materials, the Netherlands is rethinking the way we design, build, and live. In this first episode of Orange Horizons, join us as we travel across the country to explore groundbreaking innovations in Dutch architecture. Discover how local pioneers are transforming our built environment using biobased materials like hemp and flax, smart reuse of old buildings, and cutting-edge wood construction.

Along the way, we’ll visit places like Enschede’s revamped Langezijds building, Amsterdam’s wooden high-rise HAUT, and an eco-village in rural North Brabant where not a single drop of water or watt of energy goes to waste.
