Solarpunk explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Solarpunk is a world where nature and technology coexist, we don’t waste, renewable energy is the only energy, and we have spaces meant for us to hang out that don’t put toxins in the air or charge us money. Solarpunk is a movement that envisions that. It helps us to imagine a future where humanity has reintroduced regenerative practices and symbiotic technologies.
Solarpunk also comes from the addition of a steampunk aesthetic that explores the intersections of steam, water, and energy. Steampunk was one of my favorite aesthetics, and I explored it on Tumblr in the early days. Learning about solarpunk was a new level of knowledge.
But what does that envision in practice? What other videos would like for me to explore, comment below and don't forget to comment, like, and subscribe!

Learning to animate solarpunk lifestyle is what motivates me to study my engineering in energy and environment.
Wait this is so awesome!!!! Can you please make a solar punk anime one day - that would be so cool!
@@queerbrownvegan I'm so happy that you replied to me, I have even reposted your content on my LinkedIn account, I'm from India and I admire your contents for real. Yeah I've been watching anime to lotz and inspired a lot from it. There were movies n series already produced in anime about 90% of solarpunk subgenres, like the so called ghibli movies and some like arjuna series. I do post them on my Pinterest. I'm exploring a lot about. I want to learn renewable energy still more to inculcate it in solarpunk 😊
@@queerbrownvegan Yeah some Anime series and movies already have the solarpunk subgenre for about 90% in them, such as ghibli movies and a series named chikyuu shoujo arjuna. A lot of them have environmental themes by inspiring nature. I still have to learn a lot on renewable energy technology and animation techniques to give such quality for sure 😊
Thanks for highlighting this! I prefer this aesthetic AND future to cyberpunk. 💚
Thank you for watching! And Cyberpunk still reigns superior for me, it's how I got into the different punk aesthetics haha
Wow so cool
My only worry with solarpunk is that the aesthetic part will be co-opted by the rich and used as a form of urban greenwashing instead of investing in things that would benefit the lower class and that would be more efficient in reducing carbon emissions. For example, one of the staples of solarpunk aesthetic is vertical forest which is already being proposed in richer cities AND is already criticized by urbanists since it would be much more demanding ressource wise, more dangerous, and much less efficient than simply reducing street lanes to plant more trees, building wildlife crossings, turning parking lots into biodiverse parks as well as focussing on more accessible and more efficient public transport and building a decent bicycle network.
I genuinely think that the only way for this to work properly is to make sure that the solutions offered by solarpunk are practical, science based, and owned by communities (like you proposed for renewable energies)
I agree with this sentiment! This is one of my biggest critiques is that this movement is not yet diverse, and I feel that those who are able to produce these models are often affluent people. We need to be able to decentralize the imagery and put realistic imagery of how people of those who come from poverty / working class imagine a sustainable future. Too much futurism that disregards justice and equity will only lead to further harm! And I need to look into the vertical garden component, are there any sources you've found? I would love to learn more as I am not experienced in those fields of areas!
@@queerbrownvegan I love how you word it, "to decentralize the imagery", I'll definitely use that too now.
For ressources, I'm not a specialist either, I just happen to watch a lot of rewildering and urbanism/architecture content. My two favorite videos on the topic of vertical forests (or tree-covered skyscrapers) are Unraveling Architecture's "Tree-Covered Green Skyscrapers aren't Great...", and Adam Something's "Why Green Skyscrapers are a terrible idea". The B1M (a channel dedicated to construction news) also has an interesting video about it, and more specifically about the Bosco Verticale project in Milan, and mentions sustainability issues since most of these buildings require lots of cement.
Unraveling Architecture's video is definitely more on the educational side (she studied architecture) and goes over most of the issues created or unadressed by vertical forests, while Adam Something is a lot less scientific and more sarcastic and humoristic but still points out that several of these models are built next to 6 lane roads and surrounded by unused concrete slabs which could be used to plant a LOT of trees.
I also suggest looking into Chengdu's Qiyi City Forest Garden project which got overrun by mosquitoes and is almost entirely vacant because no one wants to live there.
Edit: DamiLee has a great video on understanding carbon calculation for buildings in "Was this renovation a 200M$ waste?"
This is such an important topic. Thank you
Thank you!
Agree with your personal critique. The Yemen picture is very telling.
It's opened my eyes how much of different types of architecture from different countries reflect their environments but always had a futuristic element to them than the modern American architecture. It breaks my heart everytime i see a vintage home or location be demolished by a new modern design.
@@queerbrownvegan These old skills are so easily forgotten.
this would be amazing
We are already creating that future :D
"solar punk" - a movement whose name was coined by dude who not know this "sex pistols" u speak of ?? 🙄
Solarpunk often explores themes of environmentalism, social justice, and community building. Interesting fact: The term "Solarpunk" was coined in 2008 by science fiction author Missy Sturges, and the movement has since gained a following among futurists and activists who seek to promote sustainable living.
