Sustainable Mediterranean Construction
Sustainable Mediterranean Construction
The relationship between nature and artifice, strongly present in the past, has been progressively lost; today the development of society involves an indiscriminate use of energy and natural resources, and building plays an important role in this scenario. Architecture, as a social and multidisciplinary art, has to promote and solve emerging environmental problems through the analysis of the interaction between the built environment and the surrounding environment, which must be the starting point for a new design approach. The main objective is a rethinking of the purposes and methods of construction that interact with the environment and re-establish its ancient bond.
The proposed research was carried out on a skyscraper in Madrid as a case study with the aim of exploring the possibility of converting cities and buildings into organisms that interact with the environment; from energy-intensive constructions, they are transformed into architectures that dialogue with their surroundings.
