WOHA On Why High-Density Living Doesn't Mean Sacrificing Nice Things

Subscriber Access

As part of the MEXTRÓPOLI festival in Mexico City early last month, Singapore-based firm WOHA debuted their first exhibition in the Latin America, GARDEN CITY MEGA CITY. WOHA's architecture introduces biodiversity into public spaces, turning high-rise courtyards and hallways into teeming community assets. In this exhibition, the architects show how their work has addressed both climate change and the social challenges that occur as a result of rapid (upward) urban development.

We had the chance to speak with Wong Mun Summ y Richard Hassell − partners and founders of WOHA − so that they could tell us more about their practice and their intentions behind bringing the exhibition to Latin America.
