Climatecture is a term given to an architectural movement that champions the reduction of embodied carbon in buildings. This style is based upon a rejection of modern architecture and modern construction materials such as concrete and steel. Among other principles, climatecture advocates an architecture with "local" characteristics and the use of "natural" construction materials.

Origin of the term

"Climatecture" is a neologism formed by associating the words "climate" and "architecture".

Objective

"Embodied carbon" is defined as the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the production, use, and disposal of construction materials. It is now widely acknowledged that embodied carbon in buildings is not negligible and represents 20-50% of the total carbon footprint of a typical building project (when both embodied and operational carbon are accounted for)[1].

The objective of climatecture is to reduce embodied carbon in buildings so buildings are participating in solving climate change rather than amplifying this phenomenon.

Principles

Climatecture is based on a few simple strategies for reducing the embodied carbon in buildings:

  • Sizing the project to require less materials.
  • Reusing materials instead of using 100% new materials.
  • Choosing materials that have lower embodied energy.
  • Choosing durable materials that require less frequent replacement.
  • Reducing material waste during construction.
  • Sourcing local materials to reduce transportation emissions.
  • Utilizing lower-carbon transportation modes, etc.
Cost impact

Climatecture is possible without adding cost to a project. Actually, it has been demonstrated that all the climatecture strategies for reducing embodied carbon in buildings save money on the long term and that most of them also save first costs.

Projects

Most of the projects below pre-date the establishment of climatecture as an architectural movement but they are good examples of “low-carbon” projects:

  • Meti Handmade School, Rudrapur, Bangladesh. Project by Anna Heringer.
  • Panyaden International School, ChiangMai, Thailand. Project by 24H Architecture.
  • Women’s Heatlth Center, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Project by Fare.
  • The Green School, Badung, Indonesia. Project by PT Bambu.
