The B1M
About this episode

This week we’re heading to CANADA to talk about one of North America's biggest megaprojects, but you've probably never heard of it - a $30BN new liquefied natural gas or LNG plant.


Later in the episode, we chat about a snow drift-inspired building (also in Canada!) that will become home to the Nunavut Inuit Heritage Centre, designed by Dorte Mandrup. Also in the show, digital designer Norah Design Co has used AI to imagine tennis courts in the caves of Saudi Arabia’s ancient AlUla city.


We end the show with an email from Michiel Vanrompay.
