Abstract
Global industrialized processes in architecture often abandon site-specific knowledge in architectural design traditions and spatial qualities that have allowed for sustainable and resilient designs. Parallel to this reality, science and technology have new and innovative approaches and solutions than what is currently applied to building design and construction. To meet the challenges of Climate Change and our planets limited resources, we as architects and engineers are developing new materials and technologies for near Extreme Environmental change.
Buildings will constitute a primary challenge in the ’battle’ to mitigate the causes and effects of climate change, in that, primarily, we tend to spend a very large share of our time in them which I am trying to explore as an architect’s point of view, and applied to architectural design. What are these materials? What are these technologies and applications? In short, the study will explore new materials and innovative designs that are applicable to extreme living conditions.
