The Amazon rainforest is used as a testing ground and source of inspiration to propose adaptive architectures that provide innovative solutions to mitigate climate change. In the near future buildings in tropical areas will have to deal with rising sea levels, more extreme heat waves and stronger storms.

The Amazon rainforest is used as a testing ground and source of inspiration to propose adaptive architectures that provide innovative solutions to mitigate climate change. In the near future buildings in tropical areas will have to deal with rising sea levels, more extreme heat waves and stronger storms. Participants will be asked to provide solutions to create affordable, resilient, comfortable and beautiful buildings that adapt to these future scenarios. We will learn how local species have adapted to extreme environmental conditions and explore design possibilities at the intersection of biology and technology in a unique natural environment.
