VOLUMN 2: FUTURE-PROOFING features developer Stuart Lipton of London; architect and Davenport Visiting Professors Lord Richard Rogers with Chris Wise of Expedition Engineering; and Malcolm Smith of Arup. Yale Students designed a contemporary urban environment in Stratford City in East London, the site of the 2012 Olympics, as a new community around a new transit hub. The students were encouraged to provide environmental sustainable development in the master planning and individual building designs, as well as solutions for a future-proofing strategy of a minimum of 100 years, showing a robust thought process for sustainability and vital urban design.
