The Architects' Association of Catalonia has begun a collaboration with the Revolució 4.0 program of Catalunya Ràdio, with the aim of raising awareness among citizens about the need to adapt our buildings and cities to respond to the climate emergency. Thus, a monthly section has been launched, entitled 'The built environment revolution', which will address different aspects related to the decarbonization of architecture and the energy transition.
The new section of the program, presented by Xantal Llavina, can be heard on the last Sunday of the month at 10 pm, and also via the Catalunya Ràdio website. Energy renovation, zero-emission buildings and the New European Bauhaus will be discussed, among other current topics, and examples of good practices will be presented to save energy and improve comfort and quality of life.
