Description

Sustainability Director at the firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill makes the case for solutions like algae-based concrete and direct air capture to be used within the buildings she designs.


The materials and methods used in contemporary design are a recipe for what are currently very high carbon emissions. Hannah reflects on whether these are just pie in the sky ideas.
