264: If everything is connected, why do we still design in silos? | Tore Banke - TREDJE NATUR

Urbcast is back after summer!

I'm really excited to share this conversation with Tore Banke – architect, PhD, Head of Impact and Associate Partner at THIRD NATURE (Tredje Natur) in Copenhagen.

Rain falls on a roof an architect designed, crosses a landscape someone else drew and ends up in a pipe owned by a utility. Physically it's one system — but we design, budget and manage it in separate pieces. This episode is about how to bridge those silos.

Topics:

✅ From objects to relationships: what computational design really changed

✅ Why water doesn't know any boundaries — and our budgets do

✅ Combining functions is easy, combining budgets isn't

✅ How one project becomes a method that travels to other cities

✅ AI as computational design 20 years later: the tools got democratised, expertise didn't
