In this video by Louisiana Channel, architects Peter Zumthor, Jean Nouvel, Louis Becker, Kunle Adeyemi, Francis Kere, Norman Foster, and Trædal Thorsen share inspiring perspectives on what enables global architecture. According to Jean Nouvel, architecture goes beyond the understanding of site context typically taught in architecture schools; it's also about how culture influences new experiences from one continent to another. Norman Foster believes that every architect has a role to play in addressing global issues affecting many people, such as inadequate water and electricity supply, through their constructions.
