The combined, interconnected forces of climate, demographic, and economic change are resulting in profound and unpredict-able changes in architecture, landscape, and urban space.

If time and duration are understood as decisive factors in sustainable architecture, this requires a change in approach. This is examined in the publication.

Ticino is an ideal area for research issues that affect Switzerland and Europe as a whole, as it is particularly affected by these changes. It has a unique microclimate, a widespread infrastructure network, access to construction and energy resources, diverse migration flows, and a rich cultural heritage.

 
At a fundamental level, the publication understands change as a constitutive element of resilience, documenting the projects comprehensively with plans, construction details, architectural models, artistic images and collages. This effectively illustrates not only the specific projects but also their underlying design ideas and highlights how the narrative is key to communicating new strategies.
