Climate and context shape how buildings function and perform. This topic explores how designers integrate environmental factors, seasonal variations, and site-specific conditions into architectural solutions that are both responsive and resilient.

The community examines projects ranging from climate-responsive childcare facilities designed around passive principles and natural ventilation to structures that address environmental challenges like pollution, flooding, and glacial change through thoughtful material and formal strategies.

GLACIER METAMORPHOSIS_Climate change and melting A

The Swiss glaciers as known as the water tower of Europe. Due to climate change the uneven glacial runoff due to melting, water shortage or drought is projected to occur more often. Also, the retreat induces a lot of hazards to the environment and ecosystem changing the landform and existing system. How to tackle the rising issue?

Weather the Storm

This project is a story about observation, understanding and accepting challenges for best results. The starting point of narrating this story was understanding the elements, limitation and opportunities for questioning “what if?”. What if people walk on the roof of the building? What if a bridge embraces a tree?

SHUBH-RITU

Choosing a challenging as well culturally rich and need-based site was the beginning of our design process. The design is a step-by-step development morphing from the sun, wind, light, activities of the children and energy-based appropriation. We have woven vernacular building strategies and materials with modern building principles and technology.

Concept of the green creche

We designed a creche for 100 children, that is answear to actual climate problems. Our goal has been a development of idea that conncects form and function of the building with respect of envinroment's sources.

Kid's Heaven Daycare

Our chosen location is in Yazd, Iran, which has a hot and arid climate, so the architectural design needed to reflect the extreme conditions of the location. The conditions include high temperature difference between day and night, as well as extreme temperature differences between summer and winter. The area is also prone to draught.

ICH: International Community Hub in Amsterdam

ICH conforms to The Czaar Peterbuurt area, and its environment, and to the needs of the people of Amsterdam’s city center and eastern dockyard too. its form does not imply the conventional understanding of form follows function, but comes with a more enhanced understanding of form follows community and environment.

Organon Day Care

Organon is the name of this daycare that is a music instrument which use air for making music. Our project located in Iran, Yazd city which has hot and arid climate. The building has closed form, like the knotted fingers of a fist that breathes through the wind catchers whose main space is sheltered in the soil, may be a short definition of the design set.

Dehumidifier Core

The idea of the "Dehumidifier Core" is a passive humidity reduction system that reduces the humidity of the space when it is out of human comfort zone by using airflow and Special material that is moisture-absorbing. This material is silica gel, scientifically called silicon dioxide (SiO2).

Passive Culture Center in Marrakech

The concept of the passive culture center is influenced by Marrakech vernacular architecture and adapts to the harsh and severe climatic conditions in this region. It adopts several environmental treatments that control thermal comfort inside the building, reduce energy use and promote sustainability.
