Why the future of architecture lies in our ancestral past
In short: As extreme weather becomes more frequent, modern architecture must adapt. This video explores how traditional, endemic building designs offer time-tested solutions for a changing climate.
Designer Alyssa-Amor Gibbons examines how we can move away from fighting nature and toward working with it. Using her home of Barbados as a case study, she highlights how traditional architecture is specifically engineered to withstand the unforgiving hurricane season and the increasing frequency of freak storms.
