A panel discussion on reinventing existing buildings and a talk focused on designing architecture in tandem with natural environments are among the highlights of the third day of Velux's Build for Life digital conference.
Throughout the three-day Build for Life programme, which runs from 15 to 17 November, architectural experts will discuss climate-related challenges and opportunities.
Dezeen is hosting three talks throughout the conference, which are being live-streamed on Dezeen and moderated by Dezeen's founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs.
Velux's other talks will be delivered from the Compass stage and the Daylight Symposium stage in Copenhagen.
