Glass, steel, and concrete are not synonymous with sustainability and future-oriented construction. Local materials and local service providers could offer solutions - how can we return to long-known building-principles that the Global North has forgotten? Christine Lemaitre (DGNB) and Jochen Lam (Transsolar) reveal the dangers of one-size-fits-all architecture, explore the power of decision-makers, banks, and investors, and present "SHIFT," an initiative to move beyond high-tech buildings towards more sustainable and regionally-appropriate designs.
