Urban biodiversity: Crafting biocentric public spaces | Holcim Awards 2023 limited webinar series

Crafting biocentric public spaces! ☘️
Can urban landscapes help integrate social functions with natural systems?
Tune in to the latest episode of our Holcim Awards 2023 limited webinar series where we speak with Neil Davidson of J&L Gibbons and Carlos Zarco Sanz of Openact Architecture.
Their respective Holcim Award-winning projects - Urban Nature Project (London, United Kingdom) and Stream Co-Habitat (Tuzla, Turkey) - illustrate this biocentric approach to landscape urbanism.
The two projects not only satisfy communal needs, but also create blue-green systems that act as carbon sinks, enhance biodiversity, and restore ecosystems.
Here’s what you can expect to learn in this webinar:
1️⃣ Integrating the social and the ecological calls for a new prism on urbanism. How are the two integrated at the drawing board?
2️⃣ Who speaks for nature? Who is the “voice” of flora and fauna during design?
3️⃣ How are these spaces sustained? Who manages them? What is key to long-term success?
And more!
This limited webinar series is in collaboration with Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction
