Habitat Change Lecture

The Habitat Change Lecture is a two hours presentation about up-to-date environmental facts in relation with architecture and urbanism, explaining principles of climate and oceanography, pointing how our Habitat is rapidly deteriorating because of us, and why Earth's species -including us- are experiencing Habitat loss and face extinction. The current ice-free Arctic event and subsequent positive feedbacks that accelerate Global Warming are analysed. Imminent environmental paradigms are explained.

Habitat Change Workshop

The Survival Architecture Programme is offered as a two weeks design workshop for undergraduate and graduate students. In the first week they will receive up-to-date facts about Earth's biology, including concepts mentioned above. During the second week, imminent environmental paradigms will be analysed: hot, cold, wet, floating, in order to produce original architectural programmes. Students will sketch new architectures exposed to extreme environmental conditions.

Habitat Change Unit

The Survival Architecture Programme is as a one year architecture course for last-year students. It is a design unit focused on a deeply study of the current Earth's habitat crisis. Pouchulu gives six lectures on a roll, in two sets of lectures. Students receive up-to-date facts about geological, climate and oceanographic principles, including concepts mentioned above in relation with architecture and urbanism. They work on one short design exercise and a final project. They are urged to use audacity to present architectural design solutions.

The main goal of the Survival Architecture Programme is to plant a seed in the spirit of future young professionals, who will face the unprecedented challenge of Habitat loss.
