Design for the Climate Emergency
The response to climate change represents one of the most consequential challenges of the twenty-first century. The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events, together with shifts in thermal and precipitation regimes and other environmental parameters, are progressively undermining the operating conditions for which buildings and urban systems were originally conceived. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has documented compelling evidence that climate impacts on the built environment will intensify, rendering the implementation of adaptation measures imperative.
