to dates coming up are unveiled sheds light on where architecture and sustainability intersect. i'm also chan, thanks for watching the people in trucks engine trying to feed the city center. the straight pieces explain the around the world more than 130000000 people us we ask mine because no one should have to

make up your own mind. dw may 4 mines the extreme temperatures and increasing natural disasters are putting a strain on the way we live. putting people in danger. climate change is a major challenge for life and the plants. 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 the people. innovation wise has to do with scarcity,

and pressure always came up to any construction has to go hand in hand with the reclaiming of online and stuff like that. yeah. what will the house of the future look like? let us take you on a journey around the world. you're a 5 buildings which could stay on the test of time. located at the foot of the andes, in the province who quite below lom 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, designed as a 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 the building should be very efficient so that they should consume asking the energy as possible. energy efficiency and low consumption

of resources is key to achieving a net through energy building. the 2nd important pillar of these highly sustainable buildings is the production of energy in, in the case of the cultural 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 considered to be an eyesore be incorporated into aesthetically pleasing architecture? instead of using the typical source mental turbines that you see throughout the country side where using a vertical axis turbine and when covering the turbine has to finish cuts or elements, which is i got to do with power that accept certain accent. energy efficient architecture is art. the low lamara cultural center proves that it's possible from south america around the globe to asia

landscape architect touched the car and bar icon turns on you spaces into ecological infrastructure. among them is the rooftop of the thomas at university and rung city highland. think about all the way space really is of square meters of west tall. 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 combine 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. the comes design tackles one of the biggest challenges architects are facing constructing buildings that can withstand rising temperatures, caused by climate change. traditionally, buildings and hot climate zones relied heavily on classic air conditioning a relatively cheap, beneficent 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 calling for a come 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 gathered beneath its branches to make decisions together and ins. national assembly hall, designed by per 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 is mentioned, people looking to gather would look for a tray. you can come and comment of what might delia logictree that provides plenty of shamed best and then most involved. yeah, you get together. i'm going to sit down and discuss the issues affecting the community all related to, but the difficulty that combine shop, pissed off of it symbolizes true democracy at least validated by use based as inspiration and full opinions, parliament building student the notes and see this problem. and housing being one of the distinguishing characteristics of can 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 its hot climate, francisco re prioritize outdoor spaces and natural ventilation circulation areas were strategically designed to promote easy air flow 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. given another nod to the local environments. for our next project, we're staying on the african continent and moving from been in to got 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 from his 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 materials. especially compared to concrete, which has a colossal carbon footprint. at least 8 percent of 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 it's just an apple 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 re purposing to shut off its legacy as a communist showcase. constructed in the 1980s, this brutal,

this 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. it's 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. the city, the, the re, purpose pyramids will accommodate classrooms. kathy's 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 repurposed for a 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 and the comments? the the

kind of always in signature style is oversized and see with always where it's 09. next on d w. but you know, here we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a, getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the sales force and the for the future in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the con. use africa. in 60 minutes on d, w, the

this shadows these costs and video shed light on the dog is devastating. colonial har is infected by germany across and he employed scores to post tactic farms and destroy lights. what is the legacy of this wide spread race as depression today? history? we need to talk about here the stories, shadows of german colonialism. the

what can no typical german household do without. we'll reveal all how do you make a delicious irish sea food? shout or we'll show you and where can you get intimate with one of the most famous sculptures in the world. we'll take you there is all coming up on your own. the 1st, imagine you're on a surface.
