Green Sky Thinking ranges from the practical to the absurd, writes Hattie Hartman

摘要

Online dating for rubbish was just one of the ideas at Open House's Green Sky Thinking debate. The eight presenters: Duggan Morris Architects, Amenity Space, Baca Architects, 5th Studio, Ash Sakula, Jerry Tate Architects, Moxon Architects and Riches Hawley Mikhail Architects, expounded on topics such as homes insulated with lime hemp (currently on site) and biomimicry using flshscales and shells. Speakers were selected from over 20 entries by a jury that included Open House director Victoria Thornton, AJ editor Kieran Long and representatives from Igloo Regeneration, Lend Lease and sponsor Atkins. Following the Pecha Kucha format - a presentation style invented by Klein Dytham architecture in 2003 - each practice was permitted 20 slides and 20 seconds per slide.
