| Zusammenfassung: | Taking the city of Venice as a starting point, HOW addresses critical issues of climate change through architectural agendas and contexts to identify modes of
empowerment. It takes a bottom-up approach, inviting individuals to develop stewardship of the natural realm through individual actions, and recognises the "home" as the fundamental inhabitable unit of architecture. Homes are ecosystems - highly customised "worlds" - that are shaped by elemental fabrics - earth, water, light, air - to provide places for inhabitation. The character and performance
of these spaces is shaped by the "apparatuses" that support our daily lives. In the modern era, this function has been performed by disposable machines that devour natural resources and negatively impact the very environmental challenges that confront us today |
