Glocal Design Magazine Issue 88 Explores Sustainability and Experience in Architecture

Glocal Design Magazine's Issue 88 delves into the theme of sustainability within modern architecture, showcasing interviews and projects that tackle climate, territory, materials, and social accountability. Featured in this edition, VFO Arquitectos perceives architecture as a connection among space, users, and the environment, emphasizing human well-being even before the advent of certifications such as LEED. Luis Fernández de Ortega, the design director, highlights the importance of architecture in bridging buildings and their occupants, with a focus on site conditions and livability. VFO's ongoing work integrates sensory, emotional, and cognitive aspects, exploring ideas like neuroarchitecture and restorative design. Projects such as BBVA Stadium and Akron Stadium exemplify the relationship between design, landscape, and identity, with sustainability at the forefront of improving everyday experiences through natural light and restorative environments.
