Rahul Mehrotra: The architectural wonder of impermanent cities (2019x164)

Bemutató időpontja: 2019 Aug 22

In a visionary talk, urban designer Rahul Mehrotra explores the benefits of building impermanent cities that can travel, adapt or even disappear, leaving the lightest possible footprint on the planet.
