Norman Foster : Green & Celebratory Lifestyle

Norman Foster : Green & Celebratory Lifestyle

By Piers Fawkes on April 2, 2008

In this video from the DLD Conference in Munich in 2007, Norman Foster talks about green and how his buildings are only part of the green solution. He says that designers can’t separate the buildings from the infrastructure of cities and the mobility of transport. Well worth watching. A nice quote:

Green is cool. All the projects hat have been inspired about the green agenda are about celebratory lifestyle – about celebrating the places and spaces which determine the quality of life.
