Burgess COMMENTARY | |||||||||
Thanks again for Wednesday morning. Learned quite a bit, of course with more than a bit of fun as well.
I mentioned Sir Ove's 'Key Speech' for Arup. Here's a link to the speech itself ... 1970 - Sir Ove Arup's 'Key Speech' :
Also, I found three articles profiling Arup's business model and company culture:
Sep 2013 - Metropolis Magazine: 'The Sky's the Limit: How Arup became the go-to firm for the most challenging and ambitious projects of our time'
June 2005 - Guardian: 'We're not arrogant, we're confident. But it's a fine line ...'Ove Arup created an architectural firm that is as much a belief system as it is a cutting-edge company. Steve Rose meets the men who have carried his vision into the 21st century
And here are two articles profiling the (unbuilt) Dongtan Eco-city (Chongming Island, Shanghai) project I worked on:
April 2007 - Wired: 'Pop-Up Cities: China Builds a Bright Green Metropolis'
Sep 2006 - The Economist: 'Visions of ecopolis - Technology and the environment: China has ambitious plans to build a model 'eco-city' near Shanghai. How green will it be?'

July 2007 - Popular Science: 'China's green revolution' profiling William McDonough's failed Huangbaiyu Ecovillage in Northeastern China (which I spoke about in the beginning of my presentation at the UN) and Dongtan
Also, here's a link to the Greater Hanoi master plan from PPJ consortium (Posco E&C, Perkins Eastman and Jina Architects):

Do you know about this CSR /ESG investment summit tomorrow? It's pretty expensive:
