Published

July 29, 2024

Architect and building tech innovator Doris Sung presents a compelling vision for reimagining building facades as active contributors to urban life and public health. Showcasing innovative technologies — like buildings that filter particulates out of the air and facades that react to heat — Sung demonstrates how modern architecture can evolve beyond aesthetics to address critical issues like pollution, energy efficiency and urban heat islands, offering a glimpse into a future where architecture improves life for inhabitants and pedestrians alike.

  Yeah, I am missing something? If you open a window fully it cools more than an AC and it’s free, especially if you open two windows opposite each other.

  She should have talked about cooling towers. Not Air conditioning… I don’t think she has all the facts, and I don’t know how her being an architect qualifies her to speak in this????‍♂️.. because when I build a new building, all the architectdoes when they come on site is complain about where the light switch is going…

You just need to weld the bottom doors and windows shut.

Most of these issues could easily be adressed and solved by traditional architecture instead of ugly modernist stuff.

  Depends on what “modernist stuff” is, I like contemporary and traditional architecture personally, but it definitely depends on the specific style and design, I think a disproportionate amount of contemporary buildings are ugly, adding greenery really does make it look so much better whilst adding shade, increasing water absorption, etc.

this was both eye opening and inspiring, to see someone with involvement in architectural development prioritizing environmental concern and quality of life for citizens as well as corporate incentives for implementing these changes.
