Liminal Space Explorations

Anthropocentric architecture is a design approach that prioritizes the needs and experiences of humans over other considerations, such as environmental sustainability or the needs of other species. In an anthropocentric architecture scenario, the focus would be on creating spaces that are comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing for people. In a scenario where climate crisis is a key consideration, the design would need to be modified to incorporate strategies for adapting to the impacts of a changing climate.

In this dystopian scenario, the climate crisis has reached a critical point, with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea level rise causing widespread damage and disruption. The definition of ‘uninhabitable’ refers to natural living conditions in the areas. The scenarios assume that would lead to global warming between 2.5°C and 3°C by 2100 compared to pre-industrial levels, in line with predictions from the Climate Action Tracker, who base their predictions on monitoring international climate policy and action. As a result, the field of architecture has undergone a radical transformation. Rather than designing buildings that are beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, architects are now focused on creating structures that can withstand the impacts of a changing climate.

The cost of building materials and labor has skyrocketed due to the demand for more resilient construction, and as a result, many people can no longer afford to live in the cities and towns they once called home. The rich have retreated to fortified, climate-controlled compounds, while the rest of the population is forced to live in sprawling, makeshift settlements on the outskirts of town. In this dystopian world, the climate crisis has created a stark divide between the haves and the have-nots.

Those who can afford to live in protected, climate-controlled environments enjoy a comfortable, if somewhat sterile, existence. But for the majority of people, life is a struggle, with few opportunities and little hope for the future. The once-thriving cities of the past have become ghost towns, abandoned and forgotten, as the world struggles to adapt to a rapidly changing climate.

Overall, the design of the structure reflects a strong focus on the needs and desires of the people who will be living there. It is designed to be a comfortable, functional, and enjoyable place to call home, with a range of amenities and features that cater to the preferences and lifestyles of its residents.

By incorporating energy-efficient and renewable energy systems, water conservation measures, and adaptation strategies, the design could be designed to be both comfortable and sustainable in the face of a changing climate. In a

dystopian world where the focus is on building resilience and adapting to the impacts of the climate crisis. For example, buildings with a strong, simple form, such as a cube or a rectangular prism, might be more resistant to extreme weather events like hurricanes or earthquakes. In addition, buildings with a compact, efficient layout might be more sustainable and easier to maintain in a world where resources are scarce.
