DomusAir Energy: the design game-changer

This jam-packed issue looks to analyse and explore the topic of the green transition, and the challenges and opportunities this transition brings along through the voice of extraordinary experts.

Monica Iacono, CEO of Engie Italy, talks to us about how the key trends will be electrification of consumption and thus the replacement of fossil fuel with efficient electrical solutions powered by renewable sources, and how gas still plays, and will continue to play, a key role in assuring flexibility to the system. Nicola Sandri, Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company reflects on the key role of infrastructures and the need to review and transform the global supply chains to make them more agile and resilient with the aim for each country to become self-generator of energy. Alessandro Izzo, Director of Equity, Growth Capital and Project Finance EU operations at European Investment Bank explains more about the EIB Group Climate Bank roadmap: accelerating the transition through green finance, ensuring a just transition for all, building strategic coherence and accountability and, finally, supporting Paris-aligned operations.

We also explore some of the world’s most ambitious infrastructure projects that are leading the way in combining innovative solutions with sustainable design principles:

• Dimitris Argyros, Associate Director at Haptic Architects, tells us the development of Noida International Airport in India, a model of energy saving and perfect combination of all beneficial energy factors introduced by passive design.
• Two key projects in Copenhagen, that wants to become the first zero-emission city, the world’s most efficient (and fun) waste-to-energy plant by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group and the metro station winning proposal by JAJA Architects based on 3-R principles: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
• IF-DO presents the new Brend Cross Town electrical substation in London wrapped in a giant and iridescent public artwork. An icon of one of the largest and most innovative urban redevelopment project in Europe.
