Intertwined Environments is the series hosted by Martha Thorne, Dean of IE School of Architecture and Design, which discusses the natural, the physical and the digital realms in constructing environments that respond to current and future challenges.

We have to rethink the way we understand the city and the role of architecture. Ben van Berkel and Manuel Pérez Romero talk about the city and health and how putting technological tools at the service of sustainable development can aid build our cities.
