Sustainable architecture: Siv Helene Stangeland

“As architects, this gave us a new awareness…of the enormous potential of the resources that we have at hand.”

From childrens’ playgrounds made from industrial scrap to libraries built with locally-sourced lumber, Siv Helene Stangeland shows us how, with a little creativity, sustainable design doesn’t have to mean lowering our quality of life. (Filmed at TEDxYoungstorget)
