This is the fifth in a series of video podcasts for the PBS series e2 design II. Each podcast takes you beyond the episodes and deeper into the world of sustainable design. Dutch architect Frits van Dongen discusses his building, The Whale. The Whale is the centerpiece of Borneo Sporenburg, a high-density urban housing development situated on Amsterdam’s eastern docklands. Van Dongen describes how many units in the building do not share the same floor plan. Major corporate funding for the e2 series is provided by Autodesk.
