There is an urgent need for architectural adaptation to address the challenges posed by the climate crisis. Climate change, causing urban heat islands, destruction of green areas, and societal disruptions, prompts changes in building design and regulations. With a rising frequency of natural disasters, the focus is shifting towards resilient, climate-aware structures using sustainable materials.
Strategies like passive solar design, green roofs, and eco-certifications prioritise energy efficiency, equity, and environmental impact. Additionally, repurposing abandoned buildings for climate resilience becomes crucial for sustainable urban development.
