/ imagining resilient settlements for changing conditions
∞ living w/ fire + smoke inversions ∞ living w/ flood + droughts
∞ interdependence between people + nature ∞ agency/ self-determination/ dignity at personal & community scale ∞ resilient, affordable & insurable buildings/ infrastructure for long-term
∞ collective settlement planning & scalable ‘self-building ’bio-integrated off-grid multi-generational communities
∞ densify plan to minimise land impact ∞ ≥net-zero materiality ∞ synthesise with landscape by seeding & ‘designed-in’ erosion/ decay ∞ efficient multi-purposing/ reuse/ evolution of materials and resources
∞ press play on cross-cultural/ AI co-design & robot/ machine construction ∞ onsite R&D of printable biomaterials incl. ceramics/ polymers/ resins
∞ following fires reuse fly-ash as binder ∞ reuse corrugated iron as shading
