The story behind Building Green
Host Ladina Schöpf is a multicultural architect with a career spanning across Zurich, Barcelona, and São Paulo. With an academic foundation from ETH in Switzerland, Ladina’s journey in architecture is marked by her pursuit of sustainability
She brings a curious, engaging, and sometimes provocative perspective to discussions, making complex subjects accessible and entertaining. Ladina believes that architecture in a broader sense can be a powerful tool for environmental awareness and change.
Our mission is to engage listeners in the critical role the built environment plays in shaping a resilient future.
As an architect, the term 'sustainability' often crosses my path. So much so, that I’ve gotten a bit skeptical about how often we toss around the word... It’s become a bit overused, don’t you think?
This realization has pushed me to dig deeper, to truly understand what sustainability means in today’s world. On my podcast, 'Building Green' I chat with a spectrum of leading thinkers - from architects and urbanists to sociologists and tech innovators - to discover how innovative designs can make our cities more sustainable and resilient.
My goal is to have a broad impact by educating as many people as possible about it’s real-world implications. I’m on a mission to not only inform about the meaning of sustainability, but also to infuse it with a sense of coolness and approachability!
I aim to inspire homeowners, developers, and simply curious souls passionate about our planet's future, showing the broader impact architecture and our built environment can have on our lives. Join me on a journey exploring the intersection of architecture, design, urbanism, and environmental responsibility!
