我們仿效BBC的廣播節(jié)目“60秒改進(jìn)世界”（Sixty Second Idea to Improve the World）推出了“改進(jìn)建筑60秒”欄目，每期將在世界范圍內(nèi)采訪兩位人物，請他們就建筑、城市、景觀、技術(shù)等相關(guān)問題在60秒的時(shí)間里講出一個(gè)或兩個(gè)有啟發(fā)性、批判性甚至有爭議性的觀點(diǎn)。本欄目如實(shí)記錄了他們的話，采訪所拍攝的視頻將會出現(xiàn)在我們的相關(guān)網(wǎng)頁上。所述觀點(diǎn)只代表嘉賓本人，與本雜志立場無關(guān)。

For my chance to speak 60 seconds about Architecture, I would like to talk about an idea that is not exactly new, but is a theme that's much discussed and studied in Norway and is continuously developing. That is sustainable, or low energy architecture.

It is estimated that 40% of the world's energy consumption is used within the building sector. And the building sector stands for about 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than all cars and airplanes worldwide omit together. This means that there's big potential for saving energy within the building sector.

The materials used, to which degree they are recycled, facility operations and, not the least, heating and cooling are important factors. For instance, in Norway, 60% of the energy used in residential houses is for heating and cooling.

So there are many opportunities for architects to find new and sustainable solutions for modern buildings.

Some might say that to ensure that a building is sustainable, it is enough to build a beautiful house that can stand for a long time. But nowadays there are many beautiful buildings, that also don't consume any energy. Some even create energy. Also, a lot of people residing in buildings that are built according to low energy building principles, reported that the natural regulation of heat and humidity creates a very healthy and comfortable indoor climate.

Sustainable and green architecture might have an influence on the aesthetics, but this should not be considered as a problem - rather a creative opportunity.

I would argue that, in spite of the diversity of contexts of action, outreach and methodologies that contemporary architecture practitioners can operate with nowadays, the discipline as a whole remains very much entrenched within its own confines, and in so doing it is still cast within the system of dependencies, economically, politically, that have defined it over past decades. Also unlike many other innovation-lead industries, it hasn't really fully reached or found its disruptive potential. I believe that for this to change and for this to happen instead, it is from the very foundation of the system that change should be enacted, and this is with therefore the entities and institutions there are entrusted with shaping and designing the scenarios of visions and actions that young and aspiring professionals work with. So, it is only with new pedagogical and educational methodologies for an envisioning of the role and positioning of architecture within a contemporary context of increasingly uneven global growth, that things can be rethought.
