A black hole its actually quite the opposite. Hello welcome to eco india. Coming to you from mumbai if you live in india you know stranger to the list to bring heat across the country especially in the summer months for many of us turning on an air conditioner is the forced response to tackling this heat but this small action has huge implications on the health of the planet and then he based Architectural Firm is trying to popularize a new nor energy cost Efficient Air conditioning system lets see why this could be a game changer. Night at this spot his village invest heavy revolves around the traditional artifact to meet the croft has been passed down for countless generations but things have changed recently as cheap products from china have flooded the market theres much less demand for i. The men. Those of the community however are proud of their tradition but it can only survive if they can successfully compete with cheap alternatives. Filo or worse where rose was gone with. Marathon that many people are still professional porters here where i live around 500 families make all different kinds of things or theres a good Different Event what do you mean changes according to the season but whatever people order we can make it. Just. Well i think on that as well traditionally he has been used around india for everything from holding Drinking Water to cooling hopes this heritage and the potential of the urban material are inspiring architects across the country mohnish city put up who runs an studio in new delhi hes going back to the basics on his quest to find cheap and Energy Efficient solutions for arbonne architecture. As a kid i always used to like breaking things putting them together or trying to make something out of it. That some were translated into even in college. I was very active member of this installation society we used to make art installations and then like coming up with. My candidate forms and stuff because apart from architectural problems that he has to do so thats how it started with my interaction with art in a manner over the last few years more nice has been working on a sustainable cooling system its called a v high fouda and runs on Minimal Energy it doesnt expel heat the way modern air conditioned its to it was 1st made to help workers in fact priests who were exposed to hot blasts of air from generator sets there are 600 employees working that area and this is one believe that right in the middle and in some other its really impossible to stand in front of it and even work. I mean so when we started working on the project it was speak summers and i could not withstand the heat for the 110 minutes so off that we installed the find that we manufacture. Be lifted for like couple of us to use and then we went back to see it off to a good amount of time the system was still intact and was working the people were like really happy about it the structure is based on biomimicry with the design inspired by the hexagonal cells of a beehive it is made up around 800. 00 parts recycled water is continuously poured over the structure which evaporates and was the surrounding temperature at the factory where the cooler was 1st installed it helped improve conditions for the workers. And repackaged abuse really cynical that it was earlier the temperature was so high and when people worked there it was so hard that it. Was being escorted but these are can parts that have been in start when hed come out of the general passes through the partisan. Divide be greece cooler temperatures here or out temperature by degrees or difference in. The last 15 years have seen some of the hottest summers the world over and indias capital new delhi is no exception as the city reels under crushing heatwaves every year indians who can afford it are turning to air conditioning and cooling systems. Is having to impact on them 1st its increases their electricity bill which is quite substantial and 2nd they hit this condition atos out from their house onto the road to their neighbors house is making their living more difficult so it might be cooling you down but cooling is heating up your surroundings and Environmental Research are of equal schonbrunn she has been studying the short and long term impacts of tarmoh stress in. So with the alternate more if you lose. More hotter it gets and theres no solution and this is the microclimate if youre talking the global scale the energy used to run their condition is massive and generation of electricity is still mostly driven by a pool which is adding to the world Global Warming and climate change. Research is around the world are calling for a shift away from coal dependent and energy inefficient ways of cooling city put up once a steam and its clients to be a part of this significant change the response was really. Interesting for us because the kind of plan to be a working with no other kind of plan that we would approaching this. Believe in a different lifestyle all together its no more that were taking cooling as a thing thats. Just as a function but the whole notion of this the art of cooling is something that likely in a court of the imagination of certain plants that who like who like to take this chance and actually exploded from dimension. And studio displayed their latest installation at an exhibition by you n. T. P. Which strives to fulfill to modern day requirements the destruction with water cools the air while the vertical garden helps tackle air pollution. For danish kumar and his community the shift towards equal cooling has given them a fresh outlook they hope that the growing popularity of natural materials will boost their earnings and improve their prospects of carrying on the profession of their forefathers. And. I have. Inlet and were going to for the last few months. Gives me a particular design and checks the quality of the final production in the last 3 to 4 months i must have made about 101100 for the architects that are going to about. Innovations like this may not completely replace air conditioners but their potential to minimize heat and energy knows can go a no way to making cooling greener. Now imagine you had a year as income to live on but instead of budgeting you spent it all in just 7 months and now you can only border wall money but at a wedding the high cost that puts you on your family in danger thats whats happening right now with the resources we have a story will tell you where they stand when it comes over using them. The amount we humans consume is bad for our planet its under severe strain in the 1970 s. People started measuring the damage being done to nature on Earth Overshoot Day it marks the day when humanitys demand for ecological resources and services exceeds what earth can regenerate per year. It started out slowly during the eightys we only used a little bit more resources than we had in a year but since 2000 nearly all resources have been used up after only 8 months this year overshoot day arrived even earlier and since july this year we humans 7700000000 people are living on borrowed resources for the rest of the year were using more farmland in pastures forests and fishing grounds than we actually should nature doesnt have time to regenerate were not only using too many resources. We also produce too much harmful c o 2. C o 2 emissions are produced by fossil fuels industry and deforestation. Theyve doubled since the eightys up to nearly 40000000000. 00 tons per year. Air pollution and plastic pollution havent been added to the calculation by the Global Footprint Network. The list of countries that are using too many resources is growing if we continue living like this how many resources of how many earths would we need. We would need 5 earths if we all consumed like people in the united states. We would eat 3 earths if we wanted to consume like germans and if we lived like indians we would only need 0. 7 earths india has a poor standard of living the Global Footprint Network estimates that the whole World Population lives as if we had the resources of 1. 7 earth said our disposal. But its not too late just reducing use of fossil fuels by half could push Earth Overshoot Day back another 3 months. Now when i look at that story i wonder is it really a week we could live with more sustainably the promise of a good future. But many a time city living is not synonymous with Sustainable Living that. Choose a sustainable life. Big who are there and they keep a tab on their Carbon Footprint we visit. The find out how feasible it is to live like this. The largest city in germany with a population of 3600000. 1. 2000000 can squeeze their way through the hustle and bustle of the capital every day. But peace and quiet can be found a mere 3 hours away no cars are allowed in eco village see bin linden and just 150 people live here founded 20 years ago its also a no go area for mobile phones. Moved here from hanover. It was the traffic and all the Advertising Plus the feeling of being hopelessly exposed to everything here were showing how its possible to live sustainably in germany and have an enjoyable life we live comfortably here but we consume far less energy than people elsewhere. To save energy the buildings walls or. The villages generate most of their own and which is also used to supply hot water but the village isnt only Energy Efficient the residents also try to grow their own food. Chemical pesticides and they mainly. The Old Fashioned way. For those rules and its more ecological to work without machines so its the logical options of this if its better for the soil it means less soil compaction less gasoline less dirt and smell the texting until after. Were in the spring and summer you feel connected to all the growth and development and for connected to life as my list of the matter comes so im limited. Most things are done manually and see even then theres no machinery to till the fields and they dont use farm animals either if you alpacas here are kept as pets. The daily communal meal contains no meat because its bad for the environment and because the begins in the village incensed around 70 percent of the vegetables eaten by the villages are also grown by them and theyre aiming to further increase that figure and instead of being thrown away the leftovers of recycled as compost. The villagers are happy with a small range of foods covering their basic requirements chocolate also stopped by the Village Store is a luxury. And has nothing against city supermarkets as such. Could be smaller. Of course i really notice the abundance of products and then i have no idea what to buy. Actually in each item and. Eat the items stocked by the Village Store all organically sourced and therefore more expensive than the supermarket counterparts but around the corner is a place where people give things away when they no longer need them like loads. Most residents have jobs in the village itself as administrative carpenters or gardeners which means the money stains n. Z. And linden. But not everybody could afford to opt into this sustainable lifestyle not even the people in germany joining the collective costs 12000 euros building and maintaining an eco village doesnt come cheap. Says even linden isnt quite an eco topia its a compromise solution. From an eco village lets explore the idea of sustainability at a larger scale pritzker prize winner. Is an eco he builds buildings to cause the least ecological damage with surroundings his low cost Housing Project in the central indian city of the 10 year is lauded. Lets take a peak of the lifes work of this architect. To canary a center of arts c. E. P. T. University campus you know.

Ago city housing complex is home to a Life Insurance companys employees they live together with their managers in the same building their children even play together. In the brains behind all these projects is 90 year old architect christina dont she says buildings to be more than merely impressive. There are. Living piece of structure. Because it speaks way through the. It has with the external natural elements. How it has a dialogue with terrain with sound with shadow with the space i could dig created. Through dialogue.

Ways for most of your came from a couple of things. My personal experience in the business studio in barrys when i was there in 19 do you want to feel before it was the 1st floor of a capital.

Almost on but cannot pass a housing shortage cities berlin especially are increasingly having to struggle with rising housing costs and it seems to me that dot she has managed to combine a persons apartment with their sense of identity and a highly unique way. Its a meditation on how we want to live in the future how flexible a house or an apartment has to be the whole sign shes granddaughter kentucky whove curated the exhibition they selected his most important works together. Some of the most important lesson from his architect for many students and all practicing architects generation is that his approach to participate free and open ended. Where there are possibilities to grow adapt modify over a period of time. She was awarded the pritzker architecture prize for his lifes work his opus includes the institute of indulging as a repository for ancient palm leaf manuscripts it was a major challenge for an architect to ensure it maintains a constant climate within. It honestly im drawing a sketch of the structure created by mr darcy the special thing about his architecture is that its client responsive functional very simple different and is very attractive sustainable and mindful construction with constant reference to people and their constantly changing needs principles which are firmly embodied in both krishna dorseys architecture. Even consumption can be sustainable if you consider buying used over to new items we went all the way up north as. The city has a loyal dedicated to secondhand icons gadgets.

Sustainability is a major topic where more and more sweets want to know where and how the products they use and consume were made but most consumers here still prefer new products to used ones. One of the main focuses in trying to reduce the Climate Impact is to reduce the level of production. Given in things to sort of be really used to. Being put into recycling process where they you also need fossil fuels to produce new things alex return teaches one of the many workshops organized by the more participants learn upcycling techniques and how to use various waste materials they can also learn about production conditions in other countries and how to consume more sustainably. Were definitely a part in challenging the. Concept of what is. Also challenging the concept of that even if we do our part even if were apart in a consumer culture or.
