with another risk behind the scenes, the case was closed. pops. is this the whole truth? what else is behind the young cutesy? i changed the 45 minutes on d. w. these places in europe are smashing the record. stepped into a venture. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters, discover some of us record breaking site on google maps to. and now also in book form the architecture takes, it takes land, takes resources to energy. so then the question is, what does it get much more interested in architecture as

a real engine for society. calling just got a building done with a lot all over the walls and it in white the slide off and say you see it it was worth the black. the welcome to a new edition of sun veils. who was a good fiction adapting to climate change? is it possible literally to build a better world? we journey round the close to find out. and we made 2 architects who put sustainability at the hospice. they would stay the cheapest field and leslie low co, theresa boulevard. true, the future exhibition now showing convince leslie, look, a few ready to of the 18th architect. it'd be in ali invent. it 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 the see it, 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 teacher 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 post to the past and to the future. to be a knowledge shows that africa is tackling climate change in its own way. for example, models for johannes, the library, a made of rand clay. the end 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. the anomaly is a very intense and important moment for people to come together. and i very much hope the audience has a surprise, surprise, by the level of sorts of care of beauty, of hope. i'm vision activism that this is stopped by this

and leslie, who lives in europe and in africa. she lives in across the part of the year, commuting back and forth between gunner 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 accra 20 years ago. even then, he was the head of its time, made him pod with clay breaks. in 2020, she co founded the african futures institute, where she is a teacher and research a progressive. think leslie has dedicated her life to the next generation to learning the craft at the institute. even though it's headquarters 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 in the environment. and really interesting way to institute is tackling the challenges of the future. and leslie, look at ways to at the world's largest architecture show, telling history from an african perspective, developing new building methods and sliding climate change, a big task for architect. so how is this being late 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 also for me, a new generation that has not been seen. i think this is probably the youngest generation, but any, daniel has ever seen it. so the ox of bravery. but it's also an act of, you know, drawing the line and sign the say. from here we have to do that that this leslie

logo is not only an architect, but also a global best selling, also for writing and building. not separate callings, being an architect, shape me is a right to somehow be anomaly is the perfect bringing together of to, to wells growing up and gone of my 1st window onto the rest of the world was through books. the 2023 being late celebrates many voices, and for the 1st time the african voice clearly stands out. now to one of the world's foremost ox shakes and winters the fuse puts the prize. david chip, a field has always same 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 fairly modest background and i grew up on the from my parents have very modest situation on the farm.

as a child, it's 70 years old. you can go in different couse 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, and it's cheaper field studied in london during the political and social a people of the stature era and that hadn't affects his guiding principle is that architecture has to be aware of its own responsibilities, both for the individual and society. architecture takes, it takes land, takes resources. thanks energy. so then the question is, what does it give to? clearly, you can't just get a building done, replied one over the walls and at the end wiped the blood off. and so you see it. it was worth the blood business. 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 to the city and its history. so then it's always reinventing itself. i've been lucky to be pots over a period of history, which, where it went through a fundamental change. this was the city re finding itself in 2019. he raised eyebrows. once again, the gene demand gallery is the museum islands portal and unifying element. it's minimalism was 1st the cause of controversy. then craze. after a rocky start chipper 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 me, sandoval, a chip, 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 and the iconic 19 sixty's gallery. if you see one of your heroes in the underpants, you could to change your attitude to them. we did see national data and it's on defense. it wasn't always in nice sites, 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 that 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 7 level about how to perform an 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 energy. 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 alysia,

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 t 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 knocking 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 was let students study in peace. everything's bryce, i'm clean

a trifle transformation into the bay area is up by one's boss me thing that is for us this has to do with respect from the respect to the location of the energy that's gone 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 sandbox. this go stick revival church and the us was specific to escape pock my scripts, dominican church now. houses a bookshop, the, you know, can you, the, well, it takes time for the energy to a mass and a building. and the attraction of these conversions lies and being able to tap that system on top from come. this furniture store was once a thermal power plant, architect marcus sting. every purpose that tapping its energy is he puts it. his architecture office is cardi. 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 them for pain? that may be a problem today is that we believe there's a finished state to go. and that's what we want to that once it's nicely finalized and then it's ready to use united, but we've realized this isn't the case, young man, this is me so glad to distinguish renovation the house stating 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 potential in 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 who mentioned to the officer name and this is

a form of sugar factory. and a landmark in the bavarian town of win 0, its interior was gassett. a. now, house has a folder and hold with the highest roles for miles around. building something like this from scratch would be a mind bubbling waste concrete. this is only be 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 in people's minds. and these memories effectively become more than the some of the pods i don't, but we're not building a structure. we're building a city as we found kind of how some of the 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

including 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 usual, as we know, churches were built upon the end of the buildings to uh, under the void it, i'll just imagine me unix file and co should be coming. the world's most exciting uncommon goals, full noun symbol palace 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. in other words, before i turn on the heating all the lights and 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 broo 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, the seller of the former prison has become a chic event venue. a few years ago this city was looking dilapidated. now it's a place of pilgrimage for architects finding this out and these are state. what's interesting here is the stair case, which was introduced in the 19th century, but they can leads down from a hole in the ceiling is quick to do. 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. the 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 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? 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 until the turbines that you see drugs at the countryside, we're using a vertical axis turbine. and when incorporating the turbine has an since cancer element, which is i got to do with power that accept certain action. 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 the thomas at university and rung city highland. think about all the way space really is of square meters of rest of your top. it's actually part of all the problems can tour into the solution. thomas at university's 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 serving 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. that 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 plastic 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 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 of been in this project takes inspiration from the pl offer 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 that has mentioned people looking to gather would look for a tray, common 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 gift that can main shop this office. 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 design. in consideration of been in the hot climate, francisco re prioritize outdoor spaces and natural ventilation circulation areas were strategically design and 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, yet another, not 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 hole in between. b doesn't allow the heat from outside to get him,

and also maintained 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 annual global emissions caused by humans come from the cement industry alone. boating,

plastic brick house is about a 3rd cheaper than the 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 a thing of the past? for our last project, we're flying to europe to be news capitol of toronto. and i, chronic 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 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 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 themes. 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 param its

transformation, stands as an impressive example of how in a band and building can be re purpose 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 to spots climate change. the
