Episode #45: Leo Van Broeck (Professor at KU Leuven)
In this episode of the Bao Living Podcast, we speak with Leo Van Broeck, architect, co-founder of Bogdan & Van Broeck, and former Flemish Government Architect.
We discuss the way Flanders has been developed, the pressure on our limited space, and what needs to change if we want a more sustainable built environment.
From the construction shift and the renovation wave to our relationship with nature, raw materials, and the rise of industrialized and modular construction: Leo shares his vision on the direction the construction sector needs to take.
A conversation about architecture, policy, and one big question: how do we build better without simply building more?
Climate change is not happening to us. Mass extinction is not happening to us. We are happening to ourselves. We are the disease.
