Architect and building tech innovator Doris Sung spoke at TED Salon: The Rockefeller Foundation in May about how building facades can be active contributors to urban life and public health, presenting proposals developed by her firm DOSU Studio Architecture.
Since launching in 2009, there have been more than 50,000 TED Talks given at their many conferences and offshoots, including TEDx and TED Salon. Yet of those 50,000, only 144 — as of today — are concerned with architecture. Given architecture's minority status within the larger world of TED, it's always a bit of a surprise when TED drops an architectural talk on its website and YouTube channel, so we like to highlight them here, in our magazine. The latest is “How Buildings Can Improve Life — Inside and Out” by architect Doris Sung, in which she “demonstrates how modern architecture can evolve beyond aesthetics to address critical issues like pollution, energy efficiency and urban heat islands.”
