![Urban Infrastructure | Architecture Hunter Webinar Jul/26
The latest edition of the Architecture Hunter Webinar Series brings together John Prentice, Principal at Woods Bagot, and Guillermo Dürig, Managing Director of DÜRIG AG, for a conversation on mobility, connectivity, and the human experience of cities. Titled Urban Infrastructure, the session explores how large-scale projects can move beyond technical performance to become a meaningful part of public life.
Through empathetic design, John Prentice presents Woods Bagot’s approach to city-shaping projects, exploring how transit hubs can balance complex operations with human-centric design. Highlighting the transformation of Sydney Central Station, the discussion reveals how infrastructure can integrate cultural and archaeological layers—including Aboriginal narratives and recovered artefacts. Prentice demonstrates how technical innovation serves a broader ambition: ensuring functionality does not erase personality or emotional connection.
Guillermo Dürig expands the conversation through two propositions: infrastructure as architecture, and architecture as infrastructure. Showcasing Zurich Main Station’s underground extension alongside the Vortex student residence in Lausanne, Dürig illustrates how circulation can transform into shared streets. Together, the speakers explore how urban systems can organize movement while supporting memory and daily encounter—proving that within massive infrastructure, people must remain at the center.
