Night at this spot his village invested 8 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. The members. Of the community however are proud of their tradition but it can only survive if they can successfully compete with cheap alternatives. Filo always where those was going to be. As. Many people are still professional porters here where i live around 500 families make all different kinds of things or does a good Different Event what do you mean changes according to the season but whatever people order we can make it. Just. 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 someone translated into even in college they spirit. I was very active member of this installation society would be used to make art installation and then like coming up with. My candidate forms and stuff because apart from architectural problems that needs to be so there so it started with my interaction with art in a manner over the last few years money 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 conditioners do it was 1st made to help workers in factories who were exposed to hot blasts of air from generator sets there are 600 employees working that area and this is 1000000000 right in the middle and in some other its really impossible to stand in front of it and even work like. I mean so when we started working on the project it was speak from us and i could not withstand the heat for the 110 minutes or so after we installed the final beehive that we manufacture. We left it for like a couple of us 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 by a baby tree with a design inspired by the hexagonal cells of a beehive it is metre for around 800. 00. Recycled water is continuously poured over the structure which evaporates and there was the surrounding temperature at the factory where the cooler was 1st installed it helped improve conditions for the workers. And really attacking the view serious cynical that it was hardly have their temperature words so high and when people worked there it was so hard that it. Was being a start of what do you can parts that have been started when hed come out of the generator passes through the apartment and 5 degrees cooler temperatures they are outnumbered by degree difference. 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 increase their electricity bill which is quite substantial and 2nd they hear this condition atos out from their house onto the road stand to into their neighbors house is making their living more difficult so it might be cooling you dont but its heating up your surrounding Environmental Research or of equal schonbrunn she has been studying the short and long term impacts of tarmon stress in india. So with the alternate gets more if you lose. More hotter it gets and theres no solution and this is the microclimate if youre talking the 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 the 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. Would have pushing us. Believe in a different lifestyle all together its no more about taking cooling as a thing thats. Just as a function but the whole notion of this the art of cooling is something that likely the core of the nation of certain plants that who. Would like to take the stand and actually exploded from dimension. And studio displayed the latest installation at an exhibition by you in topeka which strives to fulfill to modern day requirements a structure with water cools the air while the vertical garden helps tackle air pollution. Or diminish 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 been. And were going to for the last few months the dean gives me a particular design and checks the quality of the finding. In the last 3 to 4 months i must have made about 101104 the architects. And. You know the chanst 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 high cost that puts you on your family in danger thats whats happening right now with the resources we have next door he will tell you where we stand when it comes to overusing 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 for station. Theyve doubled since the eightys after 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 have the resources of 1. 7 earths at our disposal. But its not too late just reducing use of fossil fuels by half could push earth overshoot gay back another 3 months. Now when i look at that story i wonder is there really a week we could live more sustainably the promise of a good future. But many a time city living is not synonymous with Sustainable Living that those who choose a sustainable life the big who are there and they keep a tab on their Carbon Footprint we visited in. The find out how feasible it is 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 lived 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 are insulated with bales of straw the villages generate most of that. Which is also used to supply hot water but the village is not only Energy Efficient they residents also try to grow their own food. Chemical pesticides and they mainly but finland. The Old Fashioned way. Nadine fishing. For those islands and its more ecological to work without machine so its the logical options and thats why its better for the soil it means less soil compaction less gasoline less dirt and smell texting until later in the summer were in the spring and summer you feel connected to all the growth and development and for connected to life as the mothers of the matter runs and so on them and. Most things are done manually in c. Even then theres no machinery to tell 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 vegans in the village incest around 70 percent of the vegetables eaten by the villagers are also grown by them and theyre aiming to further increase that figure and instead of being thrown away the leftovers of recycled is compost. The villagers are happy with the 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. Had all the range could be smaller. Is a core i really notice the abundance of products and then i have no idea what to buy. Actually in each item and. If the item stopped by the Village Store all organically sourced and therefore more expensive than their 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 years building and maintaining an eco village doesnt come cheap. Even linden isnt quite an eco topia its a compromise solution. From an eco village lets explore the idea of sustainability at the largest pritzker prize winner.

Every resident was given a small plot of land with a toilet the rest they built themselves depending on their needs and using purpose built modules designed by doshi. Now some pay 200000 people live here. The notion of designing your own home according to your personal needs is more relevant than ever right now in western countries as well almost all that can happen theres 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 side. Shes granddaughter cushion open tuckey whove curated the exhibition they selected his most important works together.
