Sustainability became an all encompassing buzzword that you can slap on anything to make it sound better. I’ve seen green roofs and green walls become maintenance nightmares defeating the original rosy eyed intent. And who knows what will happen when we will have to recycle solar panels in a decade or two? Great points on the rural/urban divide in the environmental movement, it’s mainly a city problem.
It's performative. Just by tearing down buildings long before they need to, and rebuilding them from scratch you have a higher carbon footprint. Build parks and public transportation, easily more sustainable. Loved the video btw :)
As an Architecture Student I don't know how I feel about it. In some cases, it is just cladding or ornamentation using some bushes. I think it works better for less vertical buildings around 100 feet or so. You don't have to pump water around so much and it's easier to maintain. The materials and systems behind the facade should be the real star of the show in this design even more so than other buildings. I think if the type of buildings like the Basco's in Milan were strategically spread out over a city it would be beneficial sort of like parks to combat the heat island effect. Maybe make them more public so you don't have to have a net worth of 30million just to experience it. Sounds like a city full of these buildings would drain the regional freshwater resources which is the reverse of sustainable.
Everything should be plant covered, food plants where practical especially. Use a trough at the base of the walls to capture all water for the irrigation system. No more paint. No more roofing or siding materials. All green, and with food growing everywhere.
I think Milan was known as the city of towers at one time because it had so many tall skinny stone towers. I am glad they ran with that well designing those towers.
That was Bologna. In medieval past, rich merchant aristocrats was used to show their power through the construction of high towers. There was so many that at some point the city look like a sort of "medieval New York", in a sense. No trees on the towers of course. But since they built such towers so high (Asinelli Tower, one of the only two remaining ones, it's 97 meters tall), today we have the risk it could fall down. Curiously enough such towers held for roughly 905 years. It would be a shame leave it fall. Other than posing a threat to nearby houses and palaces, it would be a terrible cultural and historical lost for our country. it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torre_degli_Asinelli
4:41 Isn’t it expected that a more densely populated area consumes more energy and emits more CO2 per area than a lesser populated one? That seems obvious to me. Am I missing something? Is it per person too?
Check the native architecture of Iranian cities and you will see that they have done many valuable designs for sustainable architecture, Regardless of any mechanical systems, for example, wind catchers in Yazd city. Natural glaciers and the unique orientation of the houses to the sun
Well yes, it does reduce heat. In Europe, the amount of trees and green we put in the cities contribute to lower the temperature of the city itself. Most of our cities are made out of concrete, asphalt and stone. So they catch a lot of heat from the Sub and the environment. Giving this effect, this summer, like almost every summer in the latest years, temperatures rise over to 40-45°C. 103 - 113° Fahrenheit. Plus there's humidity that contribute to perceive even superior temperatures and causes many people, in particular childrens and elders, to get sick. To fight this, countries such Spain have made and are making "Climate Shelters". Special spots where trees and vegetation keeps down the temperature to 21°C circa. In this way people in need can survive the heat. There are plans to cover the whole cities with trees and vegetation and fountains in order to have more reasonable temperatures. Ultimately, trees process CO2, and in cities with tons of cars, that's a necessity and an useful option too.

Starting a new sentence without fully ending the last is really anoying to listen to and it feels unnatural If you want to shorten the video maybe leave out some useless facts/information to get to the point
This is wired; you have been making videos continuously for a very long time. Your videos are of good quality and adhere to the theme of your subject. but it does not attract attention? Are you not using UA-cam Analytics to the fullest extent that you ought to?
I actually took about a 2.5 year hiatus): so it definitely disrupted my growth! I’ve been posting far more consistently since Jan and I’d like to think the work has been paying off(: but thank you for your concern and feel free to share any video ideas(:
Happy (late) earth day(: 🌍🌏🌎 Did you go outside today?
I loved this video ..can you make another video on a sustainable cities 🤍👐
And i didn't go out today 😂💔

Well said! Thank you for watching(:
I think traditional architecture should return, I think those kind of houses are made of natural material and are sustainable as well.
Absolutely!

That’s an interesting historical consideration I actually didn’t think about! What a great characteristic(:

Green skyscrapers would be done if they used green walls instead of whole trees and separated the roots from the walls through like aeroponics
Great video Nat!
Glad you liked it!!!

I took some site photos with my architecture company’s drone for them on Earth day so luckily I did get to go outside.
That’s awesome!

talk about maintenance... 🤣😭
The photos of the botanist 11:50 always get me 😭

Thank you for this very valuable feedback! I will be sure to be more mindful of this while editing
