21st-Century Shelter

Wie wird sich die Architektur der Zukunft drohenden Überschwemmungen, extremen Temperaturen und der Notwendigkeit, Energie zu sparen, anpassen?

The United Nations estimates that by 2050, there will be 3.3 billion households on the planet - nearly 2 billion more than present , and a construction rate of over 66 houses per minute for 50 years. Not only will we need more shelter, but as the climate changes and space and natural resources run low, the structures in which we exist must protect us from even greater extremes and be environmentally sustainable. Building the Future: 21st-Century Shelter reveals how in a shrinking, changing world we are finding ways to build and create extraordinary structures to live and work in.
