Biophilic Architecture of Climate Change

Climate change has a drastic impact on our world, irreversibly altering and transforming our built/unbuilt environments whilst beginning to govern where and how we live on this earth. Each of the images below, created by Midjourney, depicts how architecture might react and adapt to these harsh situations and relates to “biophilic design” which is described as “the practice of connecting people and nature within our built environments and communities”. In these images, the little left from nature is tried to be (re-) connected with humankind. The first concept is related to the desert. Due to the greenhouse effects, the world would experience extreme draughts and have a very restricted supply of water. Therefore, how architects would design structures on such lands might become a critical issue in the future. The second group is related to the rising sea levels. Considering the fact that many coastal settlements are in danger of being submerged due to melting glaciers, evidently, a new style of life necessitates the creation of new dwelling spaces with varying levels of connection to the water. The third and final group includes imaginings of a possible ice age. Team members are Melek Demiröz, Nur Elif Yurdaçalış, Tuğçe Utku Sümer, Nil Akdede.
