BIOSIS is part of this year’s Arktisk Festival in Copenhagen where we will be giving a talk on “Climate-Driven Architecture with Respect for People and Landscape.”
In the session, we will delve into BIOSIS’s philosophy of climate-driven design. Working primarily in cold, windy, and snowy regions across the Nordic, North Atlantic, and Arctic areas, our approach embraces the elements. Wind, snow, meltwater, and extreme cold are more than just challenges - they’re integral to how we shape our buildings. By respecting the natural landscape and using locally sourced materials, BIOSIS aims to create structures that leave minimal impact on the environment. We also believe in community-led and culturally appropriate design, ensuring that each project reflects the traditions and values of local communities.
Date & Time:
November 3, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 1:45 PM
Location:
Iceland Embassy Foyer
Nordatlantens Brygge, Strandgade 89, Copenhagen
The Arctic Festival is all about exploring the beauty and challenges of the Arctic - an area gaining global importance as climate change and geopolitics continue to shape its future. This unique event celebrates the cultural and environmental richness of the Arctic, bringing together artists, thinkers, and communities who live and work there.
Come along to experience the Arktisk Festival, explore the Arctic’s influence on global culture and politics, and join us in discussing how architecture can be climate-conscious and community-oriented.
