During an Obel Award<\/a> panel at the UIA conference in Copenhagen, Heringer seized the opportunity to ask the global audience for \u2018forgiveness\u2019 on behalf of architects of the global north.<\/p>\n

\u2018I’m sorry for creating this \u2026 ideal of an architecture that was supposed to bring us a comfortable, safe and happy and healthy life, when in fact, it was just exploiting the planet and adding to social injustice,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Heringer, who has won four important awards since we spoke to her in episode 6, explains how earthen architecture is gaining traction and describes her ongoing work in Ghana and at the St. Michael Campus for Sustainability<\/a> in Traunstein, Germany.<\/p>\n

For more on Heringer and her work, listen to episode 6 and see the accompanying Show Notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Climate Champions will resume its fortnightly schedule in the autumn.<\/p>\n
