I was joined here today by Prof. Werner Lang from the Technical University in Munich.He is the head of the chair for Energy-Efficient, Sustainable Building and Planning, the universities Vice President Sustainable Transformation and director of the Oskar von Miller Forum. Him being an architect focusing on sustainability, we talked about where the building sector stands in regards to climate change, what cities of the future need to be able to handle, and what he hopes his students take away from his lectures to have a positive influence on our future.
