Why cultural heritage is more than good ...

Danish Architecture Center – DAC
About this episode

How do we decide which buildings are worth preserving? And will the climate crisis reshape our answer to this question? 

In this episode of Let's Talk Architecture, host Michael Booth joins Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss, CEO of The Danish Architectural Press, for an architectural tour of Copenhagen - from the iconic yet controversial Palads Cinema to Arne Jacobsen’s Modernist SAS Royal Hotel. 

Together they explore the landscape of architectural preservation, and ask: Could sustainable preservation become the future of urban development? 

Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by the Danish Architecture Center with sound edits by Munck Studios.
