Architect and architectural historian Ákos Moravánszky spoke on February 14 about one of the most important ecological goals of our time and how the circular economy is not a new idea for architecture. About 30 alumni and alumnae were present.

We talk to her about her fascination with the stars and why she chose a course at ETH.

Why be content with just one career when you can combine two? Nina Behjati was born in Teheran, studied architecture in Hamburg, New York and Zurich and has been jointly responsible for some major construction projects.
