Talking Architecture is a series of meetings, organized by PLANTA, that invite architects, critics, and intellectuals from different disciplines to reflect upon architecture.
Environment, resources and techniques make up the basis of the third edition of Talking Architecture since the most important prime materials for architecture are worked according to specific techniques from the available resources in the environments where we build.

How could architects reduce the use of so many resources not only on the already built but also in new cities?
