In the face of the climate emergency, the architectural profession often turns to cutting-edge technologies such as smart materials, AI-driven design, carbon capture systems, as the panacea for environmental challenges. While…
Our cities, those glittering metropolises of glass, steel, and concrete, once stood as triumphant symbols of human progress. Yet today, these concrete jungles have transformed into oppressive heat traps typical…
In the architectural profession, the term “social responsibility” is often invoked with idealism. We are taught, especially in academia, that architecture has the power to shape societies, influence human behaviour,…
