Exploring Innovative Sustainable Architecture 🌱 In an era of rising sea levels and unpredictable climate patterns, the need for resilient and sustainable housing solutions has never been greater. My latest article dives into the amphibious house in the UK, an extraordinary example of adaptive architecture. This innovative approach combines sustainability with practicality, allowing homes to float during floods while staying grounded under normal conditions. In my article, I discuss key lessons learned from this design and how they can inspire future urban development. 🔗 Check out the full article to explore how architecture can adapt to environmental challenges while promoting sustainable living. Let’s shape a more resilient future, one building at a time. #SustainableArchitecture #UrbanDesign #ClimateAdaptation #AmphibiousHousing #ResilientCities https://lnkd.in/gSKFUAD7

Architecture Matters 2024 Focus Session - Deep Dive: Building Standards - What can we afford? with Peter Haimerl, Peter Haimerl. Architektur, Felix Lukasch, ARGENTA, Elisabeth Merk, Planning Director City of Munich and Michael Reiß, bema Gruppe, moderation: Matthias Alexander, FAZ Where are our standards too high, making construction too expensive? How does climate-resilient design affect construction costs? Where exactly must we take action to enable affordable housing (new buildings and conversions)? Simple building - why has it not been implemented on a large scale? How is it being successfully implemented in other countries? What is the responsibility of the municipality, and what is the responsibility of the state or federal government? #architecturematters2024 #architecturematters #conference #architecture #realestate #focussession #buildingstandars Nadin Heinich, plan A – consultancy and business networks
