Mix n' Match

To combat urban heat island, small green spaces can be used as a means of cooling cities during heatwaves. The tiny actions we each take add up to a great deal when multiplied among a global community. For sustainability to evolve, this is a crucial strategy.

The conversion of a small area of underutilized urban land into a miniature nature reserve benefits the neighbourhood in numerous ways.Their comprehension and order of importance regarding these issues will determine their future.

This semester, Mix n' Match will concentrate on small urban areas that emphasise a combination or relationship to several components, such as a combination of environments and mood, environments and cultures, and so forth. Its goal is to research and examine various underutilized urban areas and combine them with various components that influence a resilient and sustainable society, where they may be used for the restoration of social and mental health.

How can students identify underutilized open spaces, combine different elements, and build an urban enclave that supports itself as a community recreation and revitalisation area?

Carboneum Concepts

Germany's largest artificial lake will be created after excavating an open-cast mine east of Cottbus. The area between Cottbus Ostsee and the city centre will be developed in a climate-neutral way for leisure, housing, culture, and commerce.

The Carboneum cultural forum is planned in the harbour quarter, featuring exhibitions, education, research, events, and gastronomy. The architectural design and building concept will be climate-neutral and constructed with sustainable materials. The challenge is the traffic connection with the B168 bypass crossing.

What is the future of the open-cast mining site? How do we construct a resilient community where they may improve the quality of life and accomplish a 'brave new world' for future generations with the availability of new technology and ways.

According to Global ABC's 2021 Global Status Report on Building and Construction, the building environment sector accounts for 36% of the world's final energy consumption and 37% of energy-related emissions. The construction sector also contributes 23% of air pollution, 40% of drinking water pollution and 50% of landfill waste. Every single construction action impacts the environment, from the materials we choose, the technologies we use, and the construction sites we build. Even though there isn't a universal solution to solve the construction industry issue, various parties are finding innovative ways to reduce the contribution to the pile-up. We, as part of the education community, should think and act the same to create a more sustainable and resilient city of the future. This module is a collaborative elective between the students of DIA Hochschule Anhalt in Pre-Tiny and Post-Tiny, alongside students from Kyoto Seika University. In Pre-Tiny, the buildings should have the highest possibility of being deconstructed, enabling students to understand the various renewable levels of different materials. In Post-Tiny, students were to design something new from the building materials that were deconstructed from Pre-Tiny, and how the life of building materials is portrayed by giving them a new life. Everyone deserves a second chance, and so do building materials. #secondlife #tinyidea #studentprojects #architecture #architektur #sustainable #sustainablemethods #dessauinstituteofarchitecture #circulareconomy https://www.instagram.com/p/ComKQOZotx9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
