Description

What if architecture was about doing less? 🤔


This week I’m joined by Natalie Mossin, Head of Institute at KADK and co-author of the SDG Guidebooks for Architects. Natalie also led the UIA World Congress of Architects 2023 in Copenhagen — a landmark event centered on how architecture can help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.


Together, we explore a provocative yet necessary idea: maybe the biggest innovation in architecture… is doing nothing.


We talk about:

✅ The link between architecture and the UN’s global goals

✅ Why “innovation” doesn’t always mean “adding”

✅ Designing with restraint, reuse, and reduction

✅ The power of building only when there’s real need
