The new episode of Loren Legarda’s “Stories for a Better Normal” featured resilient and regenerative architectural practices and SuperAdobe technology as a sustainable solution to the shelter challenge.
FILIPINO environmental advocates gathered virtually to demonstrate environment-friendly and regenerative architectural innovation on the 55th episode of “Stories for a Better Normal: Pandemic and Climate Change Pathways,” with the topic, “Building for Nature.”
The episode, conceptualized and hosted by three-term former Senator and now Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda, aired today at 10:00 a.m. via Facebook Live at http://facebook.com/iamlorenlegarda and http://facebook.com/CCCPhl .
Joining the online conversation were Filipino innovators Architect Ronnie Yumang, ASEAN architect and environmental planner and Beau Baconguis, Earth builder and permaculturist.
“The Philippines, due to its geographical location, is known for its vulnerability to natural hazards such as frequent earthquakes, volcanic eruptions as well as typhoons, sea-level rise, storm surges, landslides, flooding, and drought affecting the lives of every Filipino,” Legarda said in a press release.
“Hence, the challenge of adapting to the climate and reducing disaster risks cut across sectors and industries, including the field of architecture,” she added.
The new episode featured resilient and regenerative architectural practices and SuperAdobe technology as a sustainable solution to the shelter challenge.
As an online discussion to promote health, environmental consciousness, and climate-adaptive practices, “Stories for a Better Normal” aims to change the mindset of individuals, families, and communities by demonstrating ways in which a ‘better normal’ can be realized within our communities.
This online discussion is organized in partnership between the Legarda’s office and the Climate Change Commission, with support from the Department of Education, Philippine Information Agency, Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities, The Climate Reality Project-Philippines and Mother Earth Foundation.
