Brick Award 26 Architecture Symposium
Cities of the Future: Transforming for a Resilient, Sustainable and Inclusive Tomorrow
Representing two-thirds of global energy consumption and accounting for more than seventy percent of greenhouse gas emissions, cities are big drivers of climate change. The speed and scale of global urbanization brings challenges, such as increased exposure to climate and disaster risk and accelerated demand for affordable housing and viable infrastructure. At the same time cities are hubs for creativity, innovation and education. They have the capacity to affect significant systemic changes across a range of critical environmental issues such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, ecosystem preservation, restoration and circular economy.
The BRICK AWARD 26 Architecture Symposium discusses the critical role of architecture, urban planning and the building sector in re-thinking and transforming the sustainable cities of the future. Buildings need to contribute to environment and climate solutions, including energy saving and production. Smart renovations that focus on efficient use of energy and resources need to increase and contribute to a sustainable and affordable housing sector. Accessible, high-quality green spaces in cities that support biodiversity, physical and mental health and social well-being need to increase.
The symposium presents innovative, radical and groundbreaking projects and ideas that spark discussions on solutions and possibilities creating hope and courage to form more resilient and liveable cities for all.
