Known for pushing beyond the traditional bounds of architecture, the Swiss architect Philippe Rahm urges us to rethink how we live and to consider how buildings can become our allies in the battle against climate change.
Now that the effects of climate change are increasingly evident, Philippe Rahm’s innovative proposals, which extend beyond the traditional bounds of construction, have taken on a special relevance. His approach, combining innovation and sustainability and known as meteorological architecture, aims to improve quality of life and also to reduce the energy consumption of buildings. In these endeavours, he incorporates principles of meteorology, physics, and human physiology into his designs and explores how invisible factors like heat, light, and air quality could redefine our way of inhabiting spaces.
On the same day, Philippe Rahm will also participate in the seminar Public Space and Planetary Warming
