Group 25

Gigantic typhoon and extreme weather conditions arouse a big concern in the recent few years, In these collage work, we would like to suggest some points to deal with or improve the existing environment. Reduce, reuse and recycling are the key solutions to tackle the climate change issue. First of all, smart design method like BIM model can calculate the building material accurately so there is no excess material on the construction site. Besides, renewable energy sources and high energy efficiency electronic devices or machine should be adopted in our daily life. Not only the glass can be reused and recycled to make bricks, but also wood can make pathways, coverings and mulches (for trees). All in all, education in school is the ultimate solution for protection of our

beloved earth. If all people in the world have this "environmental friendly" - mind, we believe that we still can challenge the climate emergency.

Cobe electrical car charging station

The charging station is fully sustainable as from construction to it function, it is fully served as a sustainable structure.

From construction, the structure mainly is made out of timber. Timber is one of the most sustainable resource material, where the timber carbon emission is lesser compare to other material like steel and concrete. Timber also does not need much processing, as it can be used once it been cut into the shape the building need. Timber can be easily recycled as after it been constructed into one building, it can be dismantled and use it on other construction.

During the construction, this structure does not need much needle, as it was being built using some interlock system to tie all timber panel together. The function of the structure also provide varies activities for the occupant to do, for example: charge electric car which is more green and sustain vehicle ( the main activity), act as a shelter from the whether and also a swing.

Energy Efficiency

There are numerous ways of ensuring architecture and infrastructure is more sustainable to fight climate change. Some of them involve reducing overall carbon emissions, whilst others are more focused to the concept of working with, and for nature, as well as creating passive energy systems. The main strategies that I looked at are the incorporation of greener energy and the better use of it, some moral implications to environmental housing development (e.g. affordable housing) and social aspects of sustainable architecture development.

People's Awareness

is also an important aspect that could lead to the Climate Action. My collage illustrates three art installations that resonate with me and, hopefully, with everyone. Three art installations:

1."Melting Men" by Néle Azevedo, an art installation of frozen men brings the Arctic ice melt to the equator, metaphorically speaking. (Photo by Alan Habbick)

2."Ice Watch London" by Minik Rosing and Olafur Eliasson, a collection of pieces of ice weighing between 1.5-5 tonnes each, would remain outside the Tate Modern until it melts.

3. “Suicide Penguins” by Vincent J.F. Huang, a glass penguin and a stuffed toy polar bear, hangs below the Millennium Bridge in London. (Photo by Luke MacGregor/Reuters)
