I am looking forward to learning why Timothy Lock has put hamburgers on his poster for his talk today. Hamburgers have become my go-to tool for calculating “avoided carbon emissions,” which let me fly without guilt. I explain here: https://lnkd.in/gC7YqR5A

How to combat extreme weather? 🌪️ Hurricanes, droughts, floods, storms - these are painful consequences of global climate change. We try to counteract them on many fronts, but mobilization in the field of architecture is particularly important 🔥 That's why the UNESCO Transculture program initiated an online debate, with participation from global experts. They discussed creative ways in which sustainable construction will support the populations of Europe and the Caribbean ⛅ According to specialists, architects should pay even greater attention to mitigating the negative effects of extreme weather and act in an environmentally friendly manner 🍃 This means better utilization of resources and solutions that benefit the climate.

Let's Save the Caribbean and Europe! Extreme weather events are one of the most dangerous consequences of global warming 🌦️ They cause multi-million-dollar losses and significantly decrease the quality of life and safety of the local population. That's why the UNESCO Transcultura program organized a unique event 🌄 Experts participated in an online debate about creative solutions to this problem, focusing on the role of sustainability. It turns out that sustainable architecture is the key to mitigating the negative effects of extreme weather ☀️ According to experts, architects should better utilize available resources and design buildings with ecology in mind.

Mangrove City: A Vision for Sustainable Urban Development Mangrove City has evolved from years of research, design, and exploration I have dedicated in cultivating a world beyond ours boarders 🗺️ developing an archipelago composed of interconnected floating islands, each anchored by robust mangrove roots and enhanced with cutting-edge architectural designs. This dynamic ecosystem serves as a natural barrier against rising sea levels and severe climate impact while promoting aquatic biodiversity 🌊🪸 By incorporating mineral accretion technology 🐚🪸into these platforms, we not only clarify water quality but also create islands that evolve over time. This approach addresses critical issues such as sea level rise and ocean pollution, while demonstrating the potential of biomimicry and organic architecture in creating sustainable living environments. As we face the challenges of climate change, Mangrove City exemplifies a forward-thinking solution that harmonizes land and sea, offering a blueprint for future urban resilience and environmental stewardship - living with nature not in it. - #parametricarchitecture #sustainabledesign #urbandesign #resilientcities #architecture #mangrovecity
