Episode Topic: Architecture and the European City 

Modernist “dissolution” has atomized the urban fabric. Architect Christoph Mäckler proposes a return to the traditional European block. Through his “wing house” research, Mäckler demonstrates how high-density urbanism reduces infrastructure by 40% while creating 10,000-square-meter internal parks, restoring beauty and efficiency to modern living.

Featured Speakers:

• Christoph Mäckler, Mäckler Architekten
