CLIMATE CHANGE AND POPULATION MOBILITY - ENVISIONING INFRASTRUCTURE TO REDUCE DISASTER-S IMPACT ON CITIES
Abstract
Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. The increasing impact of natural disasters over recent decades has been well documented. This paper explores the possibilities of architectural design to benefit human condition, which encompasses physical environment of a safe life during the climate change era and predicted disasters. The first part deals with the problem of natural disasters and hazards during the climate change era and as a results human beings reacting to them. The second part presents, among others, results of the research program undertaken at West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin by the authors. The program is focused on the adaptive built environments and envisioning new solutions based on advanced digital technology. Presented design contains a systemic solution to the problem of disaster security in high-urbanized areas. This is a proposal of active infrastructure to reduce disasterпїЅs impact to cities through using personal flying evacuation equipment and a safe landing site for them. The conclusion emphasizes that the structural engineering and architectural design mean directing attention to the solutions. This design task can only be tackled by means of an integrated approach to design, i.e. interdisciplinary collaboration between architects, structure, material and environmental engineers. This study highlights a social problem, such as a rapid evacuation from areas in which a community experiences damage and disruption and it serves as a useful background for further research on the possibilities of redefining sustainable and human friendly design.
