Habitat Change Lecture
The Habitat Change Lecture was a two hours presentation about up-to-date environmental facts in relation with Habitat loss, explaining principles of climate and oceanography, pointing how our Habitat is rapidly deteriorating because of us, and why Earth's species -including us- face extinction. The imminent ice-free Arctic event and subsequent positive feedbacks that accelerate Global Warming were analysed. Environmental paradigms were explained.
Habitat Change Workshop
The Survival Architecture Programme was a two weeks specialized design workshop for undergraduate and graduate architecture students. Imminent environmental paradigms are analysed, in order to produce original architectural programmes.
Habitat Change Unit
The Survival Architecture Programme was a full semester/year course of architecture for last-year students or graduates. It was a design unit focused on a deep study of the current Earth's Habitat crisis. Students received up-to-date facts about geological, climate and oceanographic principles, including concepts mentioned above in relation with architecture, urbanism and social anthropology. They worked on a short design exercise and a final project.
The goal of Survival Architecture Programme was to plant a seed in the spirit of young professionals, who faced the unprecedented challenge of Habitat loss.
