calls the architecture takes, it takes land, takes resources, energy. so then the question is, what does it here and look forward to the tech, to as a real engine for society. calling just got a building done with black or whatever that was in it and white the slide off. and so you see it it was worth the black. the welcome to a new edition of awesome videos. who was oh, good fiction. adapting to climate change? is it possible literally to build a special world?

we journey round the close to find out. and we made to architects who put sustainability at the hospice. they would say the chip a field and leslie? no, cuz theresa boulevard true. the future exhibition now showing convince leslie, look, a few ready to of the 18th architecture, being late in venice is always at the center of the action. she is tired from 15 months of hard work, but she's please the response. that's been an enormous joy. and that's been a really uplifting thing to see people's joy for 6 months. the international architecture exhibition is a hub for experts, artists, fans, and create is from all over the world. but it's different. this year,

more women and young people are involved. and so the 1st time africa is the focus leslie low co explodes building in the face of the climate crisis. she has styled the bean ali as a level or a tree of the future with africa in a leading role. so to me, i think it has always been the place of the future has always been the testing ground for the future in a way. and again, it comes back to the point that we are really, we're simultaneously the world's youngest continents on the world's oldest continents. you know, everybody on this planet came from africa at one point. so we have this quite complex relationship close to the past then to the future. to be in late shows that africa is tackling climate change in its own way. for example, models for a johannes bed library, a made of rammed clay and for gun is capital across

a cathedral with beacon like structures has been built with regional materials. this being late was conceived as an event for change. to be a natalie is a very intense and important moment for people to come together. and i very much hope the audience is a surprise uh, surprised by the level of soul of care of the beauty of hope, ambition, activism. venice is this stuff as if and leslie, who lives in europe and in africa, she lives in across part of the year, commuting back and forth between gonna and london. both coaches influence her work and her thinking. she doesn't build much herself, but she's an important source of inspiration. she designed her residence in across 20 years ago. even then he was the head of its time, made him pod with

a brakes. in 2020, she co founded the african futures institute, where she is a teacher and research a progressive. think a leslie has dedicated her life to the next generation to learning the craft at the institute. even though it's headquartered in gone at the moment, the ideas that have been spread, that they will be institutes across the continent. i'm interested in architecture, as a real engine for society and training people who can think about society and culture and the environment. and really interesting ways to institute is tackling the challenges of the future. and leslie look always to at the world's largest architecture show, telling history from an african perspective, developing new building methods and sliding climate change, a big tasks for architect. so how is this being lead being received? what was so special for me walking through the vietnam

a is knowing that this is the celebration and coming together of so many decades of work that leslie has been doing. she's gathered all. ringback for me, a new generation that has not been seen. i think this is probably the youngest generation, but any violence ever see it's of the acts of bravery. but it's also an act of, you know, drawing the line and sign the say. from here we have to do better. leslie logo is not only an architect, but also a global best selling olsa for rising and building not separate callings. being an architect, shape to me is a right to somehow be an ali, is the plastic bringing together of to, to wells growing up and gone of my 1st window into the rest of the world was 3 books. the 2023 being late celebrates many voices. and for the 1st time, the african voice clearly stands out from now to one of the world's foremost ox

shakes and winters assist. use put surprise david chip. a field has always seen respect for the not full environment as a central to his work. without a doubt, david chipper field is a celebrity architect, but without the usual airs, i came from faded, modest background and i grew up on the from my parents have very modest situation on the farm. as a child, that's 70 years old. you can go in different house in the morning the, the young farm boy turn top architect has now got commissions from all over the world. he has won many awards and he runs 5 firms globally. but the road to success for the 69 year old has had some bumps in it cheaper field, studied in london during the political and social upheaval of the stature era. and

that hadn't affected his guiding principle is that architecture has to be aware of its own responsibility, both for the individual and society. architecture takes, it, takes land, takes resources, takes energy. so then the question is, what does it give? clearly, you can't just get a building done. replugged one over the walls and it in white, the black dolphins, so you see it's, it was west, the black. this is berlin's famous museum island in 2009 super field made his breakthrough with the noise museums remodeling. he's help shape berlin's changing face since the fall of the wall with courage and modesty. the challenge was to preserve the mistake of the noise museum. yeah, bring it into the present as a non berliner, he had to try to grasp of the city and its history. and it's always reinventing itself. i've been lucky to be pots over a period of history, which,

where it went through a fundamental screech. and this was the city re finding itself in 2019. he raised eyebrows. once again, the jane demand gallery is the museum islands portal and unifying elements. its minimalism was 1st the cause of controversy. then praise. after a rocky start chip, a field in berlin, where a team and a success story, and in that sense, i think we managed to create a dialogue in 2021. he said another milestone for berlin. the noisy and that's, you know, gallery by means sandoval, a cheap a field creative mentor, had to be renovated as sensitively as possible. he once described it as a poem, but then restoration work began and revealed major construction flows in the iconic 19 sixty's gallery. if you see one of your heroes in

their underpants, you could change your attitude to them. we did see a national battery and it's on depends. it wasn't always a nice side. cheaper field has had worldwide success. but in his own country the u . k. he struggled to gain recognition for years. finally, after he designed the extension on the royal academy of arts, he was granted knighthood. but his reception has remained cool. the truth is i haven't done much and completely and i don't want to swear something off by breaks it. i mean, it makes me extremely unhappy. makes me so cross. i've lost a little bit of my love shipper shield is restrained under stated, but aware of what he wants. and his signature style has made him one of the world's most sought after architects. he ponders the future of building of architecture and

the climate change. we know from level and about how to perform in architecture in terms of sustainability. there's only one row, we know totally. if you've done knocking, building down, you save. a lot of i mentioned the master of straight lines has started a foundation in northern spain. it's a model project for the future of building and a think tank which seminars all closely tied to the people of alicia, a relatively poor region. it's meant to be a laboratory for new sustainable ideas. this is a moment in the planet history where we really have to think how we to aspire society to be p hope sparrow, hospitable one. david cheaper field runs his own bar the project. and alicia, it's like a return to his roots as a man of the soil who scaled the architectural heights quietly like no other

preserving, not demolishing. what if we stopped looking things down the case for adopting and we're using existing buildings instead of building from scratch till recently a child now a place of high learning with the latest tech and chill out rooms to speak with let students study in peace. everything's bryce and clean a title transformation impression roy of area is up by one's of us me thing that is for us this has to do with respect from the respect to the location of the energy that's going into the buildings in these locations is the most sustainable approachable is to convert existing buildings. that's the whole money in hand. the watson old warehouse. now a spectacular event box. this go stick revival church and the us was best effective as a skate park. and my scripts, dominican church now. house was

a bookshop. the key, the though it takes time to the energy to a mass and a building and the attraction of these conversions lies and being able to tap it, has them on. so from come to this furniture store, it was once of thermal power plant, architect marcus, stung every purpose to tapping its energy is he puts it is architecture. office is currently turning the books and the power station into an ops station and changing the facts of west munich in the process. is this for like propane that may be a problem today is that we believe there's a finished state to go. and that's what we want to know, that once it's nicely finalized and then it's ready to use united, but we've realized on this isn't the case. i'm going to ask, this is me so glad to distinguish renovation. the house staging for 1486. it's a change tens 40 times and over the eas own is kept adding to it. in doing so,

they found it for more potentially. and what was initially a simple structure on the in house. these municipalities takes it to me. what's most important about the house is that you see a building that stood for 540 years. and if it's the one that's proven, it's resilient enough to accommodate every possible use. every social load of every function and every type of person mention to officer name and the circuit court is a form of sugar factory. and a landmark in the bavarian town of win 0, its interior was gosh, with a now house has a folder in hole with the highest rules for miles around. building something like this from scratch would be a mind boggling waste concrete. this as soon as some gets a bit of an update or a reset button for real estate or saying that buildings are valuable to society simply because they have a place and people's minds. and these memories effectively become more than the sum of the pods. i don't, but we're not building a structure, we're building

a city for us to be found kind of house and they've found that new stuff. this is a lot of and to summit up simply, it's making a non place into a place. again, it's a place is something interconnected with something open ended on all sides where people can reconnect to the clinical kind of august and straw. so in munich, at the cities technical university, they studied what would happen if the street was given a common building line and all kate's the result up to 23 percent more living space in fluid. and you all know the whole, nothing earlier use or centuries. it was completely self evident to keep building on things when they were finally to meet. it was simply and clearly a way to consume of resources by using existing things. that is the initial, as we know, churches were built upon the end of the buildings to uh, under the void it, i'll just imagine meaning expound, to ship it coming. the world's most exciting farming world. full noun, simple products as low income housing, which site,

hundreds of apartments or nuclear power plants transformed into amusement parks, phone and we've done some building with an existing structure is, is vital when it comes to meeting climate targets. because, and this is something many people haven't fully understood yet. just the construction of a building alone is incredibly energy intensive bonds. and in other words, before i turn on the heating all the lights in my new home for the 1st time, i've already had to invest masses of energy into building it in the 1st place. and again, this to them uses house about to bone. aisles for the village is full, and the brewery is no, its finest hotel. a decade ago, trees were growing through the roof. the old blue house with it's cables, is now the lobby and the place where they once prepared the mulch has been converted into veterans, the

macintosh and royce. this is a lot of the film of prism has to come to chic events and new a few years ago this city was looking to levitate it. now it's a place of pilgrimage for architects finding this out and these are still what's interesting here is this stat case which was introduced in the 19th century, but they can leads down from a hole in the ceiling is quick to we've kept it in place. scopes really and added these bars as a reminder of its use as a presenting these us today, the registry office holds weddings and the volt itself. it's booked up months in advance. the town has turned its length of more than instructions into an assets old buildings of being renovated and redeveloped, turning titian horse into a model. so the future of architecture conversion is the new construction. the

next ops on file takes a trip around the world to showcase 5 examples of architecture. this future proof and sustainable. located at the foot of the andes in the province who quite below them or a cultural center is surrounded by the dense young as far as 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, the net 0 energy building, it will produce as much energy as it consumes. but how exactly are modern buildings able to achieve this? 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 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 considered to be an eyesore be incorporated into aesthetically pleasing architecture? instead of using the typical source mental turbines, the gc drug and the counter side, we're using a vertical axis turbine and we're incorporating the turbine. as soon as you cancer element, which is such as your power that adds up to 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, the landscape architect, culture, car and bar icon turns anew spaces into ecological infrastructure. among them is the rooftop of thomas at university and wrong 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 combined sustainable food production, renewable energy, and public space to be used for teaching or events. when you saving the energy, you don't open air condition, which also of course, you put all the heat outside. this is like make it even worse. so having green move, reduce the energy cars and also crude out the temperature for the surrounding. laura i 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 or

relatively cheap and efficient way to cool down a 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 by culture club and 4 of them 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 have been in this project takes inspiration from the collaborative 3 and an ancient west african tradition, according to which communities gather, denise, its branches to make decisions together and ends national assembly hall, designed by berkeley. now the german architect francisco re embraces this sense of community. he wants to design to be assembled for democracy and the country's culture. the types of desktops is mentioned,

people looking to gather would look for a trading common common for light delia logictree that provides plenty of shamed best. and then the most involved, the, all 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 dist office. 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 the 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 something into gone as capital across governance 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 its 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 brakes are pressed. 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 annual global emissions caused by humans come from the cement industry alone. mo things, 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 plastic 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 tank has gained international recognition for his invention, even winning the grant by the united nations development programs. will his invention make concrete buildings? i think the past for our last project, we're flying to europe, to albanians 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 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 pyramids served as a base for nato and leader as a night club. in the following decades, the building was abandoned and left to deteriorate. 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 derelict structure for the cities inhabited by opening up the building and adding greenery to the atrium in its surroundings. the former communist bleakness is making room for new development. special emphasis is placed on the pyramids, iconic, sloping concrete beams. the re, purpose pyramids will accommodate classrooms, kept phase 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. that's it. so this week shots to build for the future. architects needs it, precise knowledge and understanding of place and history. and to make use of existing resources. that way they can help ensure that our planet remains livable,
