as and by the spanish culture ministry, after experts suspected it was incorrectly attributed to a later painter. without you're up to date, i'm david levitz. thanks for joining us here on d. w for more news, you can find us online at d, w dot com or follow us on social media. the it could be green, green, old as blue. p s. plains wine to some lovely red. definitely. pull just the yellow. if that's what you present on purple samples, very special, but the georgia choose your favorite color. we are all set and we're watching close

to the in the we can use the story behind the news. we rolled about unbiased information for 3 months. the extreme temperatures and increasing natural disasters are putting the strain and the way we live. putting people in danger. climate change is a major challenge for life on the plan. how can architecture be safe and efficient under these conditions? the way we build live and dwell must be or thought the something new, something different has to come from somewhere else. there needs to be some sort of sensibility and understanding of the context as well as people innovation waste has

to do with scarcity and pressure boys came up to any construction has to go hand in hand with the reclaiming of online is that like bacteria? what will the house of the future look like? let us take you on a journey around the world care of 5 buildings which could stay on the test of time . located at the foot of the andes in the province who quite below them or a cultural center is surrounded by the dense young gods for it. once it's completed, the building will how sculpture is crafted by its namesake low lamara, a pioneer scope, trust and national. here, the idea behind the cultural center is a symbol, as it is fascinating design that the net 0 energy building it will produce as much energy as it consumes. but how exactly are modern buildings able to achieve this? one of the main components of that building should be very efficient so that they

should consume, asked me that energy as possible. energy efficiency and low consumption of resources is key to achieving a net 0 energy building. the 2nd important pillar of these highly sustainable buildings is the production of energy. in the case of the control center, this is done by using on site renewable energy resources, including solar panels and wind turbines, which produce more energy than the space requires. but how can wind turbines, which many consider to be an eyesore be incorporated into aesthetically pleasing architecture? instead of using the typical source until the turbines that you see drugs in the countryside, we're using a vertical axis turbine. and what incorporating the turbine as soon as she cuts her element, which is i got to do with power that assets, that accent energy efficient architecture is art. the low lamara cultural center

proves that it's possible from south america around the globe to asia, a landscape architect, touch a car and bar icon turns anew spaces into ecological infrastructure. among them is the rooftop of thomas that university and runs the pilots. think about all the way space really is of sky meters of western rooftop. it's actually part of all the problem can tour into the solution. thomas at universities urban rooftop is the largest of its kind in asia. it's shaped like the traditional rice terraces of southern asia and combined sustainable food production, renewable energy, and public space to be used for teaching or events. when you're saving the energy, you don't open air condition, which also of course you put all the heat outside,

which is like make it even worse. so having green move, reduce the energy cars and also crude out the temperature for the surrounding. laura outcomes design tackle is one of the biggest challenges architects are facing constructing buildings that can withstand rising temperatures, caused by climate change. traditionally, buildings and hot climates. owens relied heavily on plastic air conditioning a relatively cheap, efficient way to cool down the building. but with detrimental effects, according to a 2020 to study cooling accounts for 10 percent of the global electricity use and nearly 4 percent of the annual greenhouse gas emissions. today, architect like culture, core, and for outcome, are moving beyond the need for traditional air conditioning with new designs and passive cooling techniques. next, we fly from asia to africa. more specifically, the west african nation of been in this project takes inspiration

from the collaborative 3 and an ancient west african tradition, according to which communities gather beneath its branches to make decisions to there been ins, national assembly hall design fiber, canada german architect, francisco re embraces this sense of community he wants to design to be a symbol for democracy and the country's culture. the types of desktops, as mentioned, people looking together would look for a training and government comment of what might delia logictree that provides plenty of shamed by some of the most involved. yeah, you get together, going to sit down and discuss the issues affecting the community all village you. but the gifts like a deck of mine, shock pissed off. it symbolizes true democracy, at least validated by use, based as inspiration, the full opinions, parliament building student, the notes, and see this problem. and housing being one of the distinguishing characteristics of to raise work is his unwavering focus on local conditions and circumstances. as

an architect, he has the remarkable ability to understand and incorporate the specific context of a site into his designs. in consideration of been in this hot climate, francisco re prioritize outdoor spaces and natural ventilation circulation areas were strategically designed to promote easy airflow through the central courtyard. emphasizing the importance of green spaces, a significant portion of the site will be transformed into a vibrant public park adorned with a native west african flora. get another nod to the local environments. for our next project, we're staying on the african continent and moving something into gone his capital across got his 1st plastic house is an interesting site. what looks like normal brick is actually a mixture of sand and plastic waste. the brakes made for me is cycles material are stable and good insulators. their brakes are designed. he said to me that there was

a goof, a hole in between. you doesn't allow the heat from outside to get him and also maintain the temperature of the room. nelson bow a tang facility accepts waste, collected by around $300.00 employees. he designed and built both the cleaning device and the machine that breaks down and melts the plastic. the brakes are made from old melted plastic mixed with sand. under pressure and extreme heat, a paste is formed from which the brick suppressed its facility can produce $25.00 bricks per hour. they're made of about one 3rd of recycled plastic. so i'm so excited that i kinda used one problem that the plastic waste problem that is affecting the world us and then use that simple them to solve housing problem and got enough plastic bricks or climate friendly building material, especially compared to concrete, which has a colossal carbon footprint. at least 8 percent of the annual global emissions caused by humans come from the cement industry alone. boating

plastic brick house is about a 3rd cheaper than a comparable concrete house. viewings take place every day. recycled plastic seems to be a trend among gunners. young urban professionals, i think it's a win way for me to use toxic to build houses because i'm good in a product that is much better than using regular concrete at the same time for a cheaper price was contributing to assist. and i'm with development nelson bow a tang has gained international recognition for his invention, even winning the grant by the united nations development programs. will his invention make concrete buildings? the thing of the past for our last project we're flying to europe, to albania is capital of toronto. and i conic landmark is undergoing repurposing to shut off its legacy as

a communist showcase. constructed in the 1980s this brutal list monument has had many faces. originally, it was conceived as museum dedicated to the communist dictator and the hotel during the war in kosovo. the permits served as a base for nato and leader as a nightclub. in the following decades, the building was abandoned left to decay. its facade was often used by young people as a dangerous playground. now the dutch architecture bureau, m v r d b, is reclaiming the formerly dialect structure for the cities inhabited by opening up the building and adding greenery to the atrium and its surroundings. the former communist bleakness is making room for new development. special emphasis is placed on the pyramids, iconic, sloping concrete beams, steps were added to allow visitors to walk all over the building to enjoy stunning views of the city. the, the re, purpose pyramids will accommodate classrooms,

copies and tech company offices. the idea of using a space which one stood as a symbol of oppression to educate new generations. the toronto pyramids transformation stands as an impressive example of how in a band and building can be re purpose for new era, while still honoring its intricate history. exciting future proof architecture doesn't always mean starting from scratch. thanks for coming with us on this journey across the globe where we met innovators and architects with great plans for the future of our planet. what are some other examples of innovative and cutting edge buildings share with us in the comments? the the
