BUA 2024 - Caring about the climate - by Mr. Michael Diamant

Beauty And Ugliness in Architecture Conference in Oslo, Norway. May 4th.
Mr. Michael Diamant is the founder of New Traditional Architecture. Diamant is an urban sociologist with great interest in architecture, city planning, demography, history and social anthropology. He has been interested in traditional architecture and urban planning since he was 19, but it first in 2013 that he decided to start the advocacy that has now become global. This site and the others he has created on different socail nedia platforms are a part of a successful effort to change to discourse or public debate about what we allow ourselves to build.
Caring about the climate - why traditional architecture is the only answer to our modern problems
The lecture will explore why traditional architecture and city planning is the solution to our modern social, ecologic and economic problems. How beauty can decentralize our countries and help small cities, while combating increase in CO2 emissions and foster local patriotism.

The mental health aspect is sooo important. I suffer from anxiety and bad, ugly environments make it faaaar worse. And of course obesity gets worse when people are depressed/everything is grey and there is no nature or green parks to go and take a walk!

[@michael.diamant]

My point was that if you create cohesive urbanism walking become a natural mode of transport, not an activity. And this in general is good for physical and mental health. Regarding architecture yes classical architecture is calming for the soul!
