Lecture description

Thick walls, simple windows, as little building services as possible: the idea of ‘simple building’ has plenty of supporters. At the same time, buildings are becoming ever more connected. This keynote takes a clear position in the debate. Smart building technology isn't an end in itself: it saves energy, ensures comfort and makes buildings fit for the future. But there are places where less technology really is more. The argument is for getting the balance right, not for ideology.
