Weather extremes, such as floods, droughts and heat waves, are recognised effects of the human manipulation of the environment. The impact of these climate-related extremes reveal the vulnerability of human and natural ecosystems to current climate variability and change. Are human beings prepared for the changes in intensity and frequency?
The graduation studio will focus on the edge between land and water (rivers, lakes, sea) where the above-mentioned weather extremes strongly appear. |
The concept of ‘edge’ and of the water characteristics of humidity, seasonal precipitations and water levels fluctuation was analysed . The studio also analysed the current state and future concepts of architectural structures that embody climate (water) adaptability in this unique borderline. Europe and America are the research areas.
During the research phase, students will be grouped in 2/3 to carry out their work. Based on the research, |
each student will develop a research question that will be tested through an individual design proposal for a water-adaptive building on a site specific. Each student will choose his/her location and program. Environmental integration, relationship between open-built spaces and technical response to water impact will play an important role in the design elaboration. Finally, the design will be developed at different architectural scales, including inspiring details of water-adaptive architecture.
