Explore Urban Biodiversity & Low-Carbon Material Smart

On a beautiful late-summer day, industry experts gathered at London’s Natural History Museum to discuss how urban spaces can blend sustainability and biodiversity. The Urban Nature Project, an award-winning design, transforms five acres into a thriving green space. Learn how it’s shaping the future of cities.

Join Monocle’s Andrew Tuck in conversation with executive director Laura Viscovich on the vision of the Holcim Foundation - and its global engagement to promote sustainable approaches that transforms the way we build.

We then speak to the design team behind the Natural History Museum’s Urban Nature Project. This five-acre green urban space illustrates how cities can foster sustainability and enrich urban life through thoughtful design.

Discover how Openact Architecture’s award-winning project in Tuzla, Türkiye, is regenerating urban spaces by integrating natural elements like rain gardens and bioswales – and delivers a harmonious relationship between city life and nature.

In this edition of Words With Winners we speak with Carlos Zarco Sanz and Zuhal Kol - the architects behind this visionary project.

Don’t miss the final Holcim Awards Webinar on November 12, 2024, where we’ll explore low carbon building innovations, including cutting-edge projects delivering urban infill in Germany and a hybrid high-rise tower in Switzerland.

The live webinar will uncover innovative approaches to reducing carbon footprints in construction, with Matthias Peterseim from Boltshauser Architekten and Benjamin Scheerbath from Office ParkScheerbarth.
