of the with each passing day of the continuing conflict in syria, more and more children fear their future maybe fading away. with every classroom damaged or destroyed. with every child witnessing the horror of war, every family fling the violence, we can't risk losing, and it's higher generation of children to death, fear, and despair. because date or the future of serious 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?

you can't just get a building done with log all over the walls and in the end why divide 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 to architects who put sustainability at the honda if they would stay the cheapest field. and leslie? no, cuz theresa boulevard tree of the future exhibition now showing convince leslie, look, a few ready to of the 18th architect to be in ali 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. the see it, more women and young people are involved. and so the 1st time in africa is the focus. leslie logo 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

confidence. you know, everybody on this planet came from africa at one point. so we have this quite complex relationship both to the past and to the future. to be in ali shows that africa is tackling climate change in its own way. for example, models for johannes, the library, a made of rams clay and for gun is capital to cross 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 sort of care of beauty of hope, ambition, activism, venice is this stuff of if 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 across 20 years ago. even then he was the head of its time, made him pod with clay breaks in 2020 she coast down to 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 that croft at the institute? even though it's headquartered in gone at the moment, the idea is that it spreads 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 ways 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 already 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 bad news ever see it. so 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 also for rising and building not separate callings, being an architect, shape to 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 3 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 former stock, safe and winter assist use put surprised days of chip. a field has always seen respect to the knoxville environment as essential to his work. without a doubt, david chipper field is a celebrity architect, but without the usual heirs, i came from carrying 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 in it cheaper field, studied in london during the political and social upheaval of the stature era. and that had an effect. 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 with blogs or whatever, and we'll send it in white blood. awesome, so you see it. it was with the black business berlin's famous museum island in

2009 super field made his break through with the noise museums remodeling. he's helped shape berlin's changing face since the fall of the wall with courage and modesty. the challenge was to preserve the mystique of annoyance museum. yeah, bring it into the presence of the 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 popular for a period of history, which, where it went through a fundamental street change. this was the city re finding itself in 2019. he raised eyebrows. once again, the gene demon galleries, the museum islands portal, and unifying elements. its minimalism was 1st the cause of controversy, then praise. after a rocky start to per field, and berlin were a team and a success story. and in that sense, i think i, 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 wants 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 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, 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 to climate change. we know 7 level about how to perform in architecture. in terms of sustainability. there's only one row, we know totally. if you've done nothing building down, you save the image of 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, i'm clean a trifle transformation intestine, right. the 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 for 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 event box. this go stick revival church and the us was basically practiced as a skate park and domestics, dominican church. now, house was a bookshop. the key, the bro, it takes time to the energy to a mass and a building. and the attraction of these conversions lies on being able to tap that system on self from come. this furniture store, it was once of thermal power, plant architect, marcus sting, a re put the student tapping its energy is he puts it, his architectural offices card, returning 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 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 to stand a renovation. the house stating for 1486. it's a change tens 40 times and over the ease own is kept adding to its been doing so they found it removed 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 quote 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 in the home 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 some 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 clinic book and i'll post install. so in munich, at the cities technical university, they studied, but what happened 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 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 meaning expound to ship it coming. the world's most exciting farming world. 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. 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 you, this 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 roots. 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 documentation royce, the seller of the former prison has to come to chic event venue. a few years ago this city was looking to levitated. now it's a place of pilgrimage for architects finding this out and these are state. 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 here. 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 are 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 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 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 considered to be an eyesore be incorporated into aesthetically pleasing architecture? instead of using the typical source mental turbines, the gc drug, the countryside, we're using a vertical axis turbine. and when incorporating the turbine has to finish cancer elements, 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 on new 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 rest of the top. it's actually part of all the problems 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 welcomes 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 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 like coach a car 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. bindings national, assembly hall, designed by brit 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, common comment of what might delia logictree that provides plenty of shamed best. and then 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 design. in consideration of been in the 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 or for our next project, we're staying on the african continent and moving something into governance 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 a cycles material are stable and good insulators. their bricks are designed, he said to me that there was a goof. a hole in between b doesn't allow the heat from outside to get him, and also maintained

a temperature of the room. nelson bow a tang facility accepts waste, collected by around $300.00 employees. he designed and built boats the cleaning device and the machine that breaks down and melts. the plastic. the bricks 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 scripts per hour. they're made of about one 3rd of recycled plastic. so i'm so excited that i kinda used one problem down to plastic waste problem that is affecting the world 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. are both 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 professional. i think it's a win way for me to use toxic to build houses because i'm getting a product that is much better than using regular concrete at the same time for a cheaper price. well as contributing to assist in the 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 albanians capital 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 list monument has had

many faces. originally, it was conceived as a 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 derelict 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 developments. 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 generation. the toronto pyramids

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 shot 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 sparks climate change, the

pulse, the beginning of a story that takes us along for the ride. it's about the perspectives, the culture information. this is

the, the news w from mines eco, africa. they are hard to commodities beach and pens. these are being illegally treated as compass and can a ranger study. oper, knowledge, or national park are set up. they want to raise awareness of the issue with a wide range of projects to protect, to pansy, africa, 90 minutes on dw, the schedule issues with a lot say well crazy. the,

the,

the, this is the, the good news coming to live from berlin, a kingdom and russian occupied ukraine has been blown up, causing widespread flooding. ukraine and russia accused each other of destroying the cut kafka them in the south of the country. evacuations are underway. this comes as ukraine says, it's conducting offensive operations around the city.
