Looking Back to Go Forward: Building as an Ecosystem

Part 2 Project 2020

This project examines the possibilities of a more symbiotic relationship between built form and the urban landscape. By incorporating environmental stewardships and a more circular construction loop of building material, through on-site production and re appropriation, there is now potential for a shift in the conception of ‘fixed’ built form post 2050 in the context of climate resilience. The shift post 2050 could also allow for a degree of joined up thinking and provide a building proposition with the capabilities to address three other critical socioeconomic and socio-environmental challenges, which are predicted to impact city dwelling post 2050.

A more circular approach ensures the production of building material, but only as a result of other integrated industries, in a symbiotic relationship. These industries aim to provide a response to the predicted challenges of food production, water usage and the processing of waste post 2050.
