A panel of international architects, urban planners and artisans discuss the different regional pressures and opportunities facing New Urbanism and New Traditionalism. They discuss how these movements must adapt with changing times to remain relevant and effective.
There is no good urbanism without good architecture, and traditional and Classical forms still make the most holistic buildings and spaces for people. While science proves and demonstrates this, we are still at some distance from bringing our built environment into better alignment with the natural ecosystems of our own bodies and planet. Architects and their projects increasingly need the hands-on heritage design and construction trades knowledge to holistically comprehend the impact on health, safety, and welfare of buildings.
