  • Architecture can't ignore the realities of climate change. For time-tested solutions that perform under extreme conditions, designer Alyssa-Amor Gibbons says we should look to traditional buildings. Taking us to her home of Barbados, where the hurricane season is unforgiving and freak storms are becoming more frequent, Gibbons points to the brilliance of endemic designs that are built to work with nature -- rather than against it.

    I am here watching this on Mon, 1 July 2024. The day where the eye of Hurricane Beryll barely passed us in Barbados, but caused so much destruction to our sister islands.
    Alyssa, I don't know if you are seeing this but thank you for your TED talk. It hit home more than ever before.
    Thank you.

    Live in a land locked locating in the middle of U.S. I am thankful I don't have to survive hurricanes anymore, however we do experience for weeks at a time , 80-120mph wind on clear days, they call them land hurricanes here, and when accompanied with rain it will destroy

    Hmm, could the wind be funnelled through the sacrificial corridor to blow against the wind dampening it at critical locations? I guess you'd need concrete or some such for the funnel though.
    Actually, what it it were angled up? would it push the building down and possibly redirect some of the wind up?

  • @samuelzev4076
    @samuelzev4076 2 роки тому +1

    So the solution to build a hurricane resistant building is to just make windows with diagonal inlet openings to let the wind pass through? What about build houses with bricks instead of wood?

    It's a great idea to build climate resistant buildings, but it would be better to build a better planned World with less inequality, more Justice and compassion for the life and wellbeing of everyone, by stopping the carnage and robbery of the weakest, we are not animals. Act like the humans you are and end all slaughter and manage the World better and in peace. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

      She spoke slowly, deliberately, firmly and clearly. Normally we Islanders speak very quickly and eat our words. She kept the audience fixated on her as she relayed her message.
