Resilience Architecture

Resilience Architecture

Under such an extreme weather, there are still minority of species living in these area when it is always seems like impossible to inhabit. For example, there are cactus growing under melting hot weather, there are moss growing on the ground under freezing weather. These species have their unique morphology to adapt and respond to this extreme condition.

Therefore, I would like to investigate how architecture can respond and adapt to the extreme environment and climate change, not only functioning as a shelter simply, but also take the extreme weather as an opportunity to benefit the users and the context through architecture.
