WOHA Architects in Berlin to Discuss Garden City Mega City: Rethinking Cities for the Age of Global Warming

Published in collaboration with Patrick Bingham-Hall, WOHA’s Garden City Mega City, is a plea for urgent action to rethink, re-plan and remediate the world’s mega cities for the age of global warming. Using WOHA’s ‘Macro-Architecture Micro-Urbanism’ approach as a prototype, the book presents a compelling manifesto for densely settled, yet comprehensively green and ultimately self-sufficient cities of the future.

Berlin-based architect Matthias Sauerbruch of Sauerbruch Hutton will discuss with Richard Hassell & Wong Mun Summ their architectural practice and their approach to address the current urban crisis on Wednesday, 16 November, 2016 at the ANCB The Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory in Berlin.
