01-07-2014 Symposium on Climate and Adaptation
Climate change affects regions and cities worldwide, if at differing scales and with differing impacts. What are the consequences for architecture and urban development of climate change? How can architectural design processes be adapted to climate change? What are the potential strategies for such adaptation and what are their benefits?
How can climate-oriented design strategies be integrated into the legal and political framework and who is responsible for advancing such strategies? Which adaptation measures are effective and which tools should be developed? Does climate change have the potential to create opportunity? The symposium will focus on the interdependence of design strategies, adaptation methods and policy-making.
