SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
WORLD ARCHITECTURE FESTIVAL 2019
Architects grapple with some of the world’s most pressing challenges
in the twelfth edition of the World Architecture Festival, the world’s
biggest architectural awards programme, which has announces its
shortlist.
Following the establishment of ‘Architects Declare’ a collective of
some of the most renowned practices who have come together to
announce a state of climate emergency, this year’s World Architecture
Festival shortlisted entries include designs that demonstrate how
buildings can play a major role in a more sustainable future.
Amongst the shortlist is an eco-airport in Singapore designed by
Safdie architects centred around a 15,000m 2 state-of-the-art, indoor
public garden, which features a 40-metre indoor waterfall falling
through the centre of a doughnut-shaped glass roof, alongside
3,000 trees and 100,000 shrubs from around the globe. Dortheavej
