Carles Enrich – Microclimatic Architectures: Air, Time and Response – gostujoče predavanje

Vljudno vabljeni na gostujoče predavanje Carlesa Enricha (Carles Enrich studio).

In times of energy and social crisis, microclimatic architectures emerge as small-scale yet powerful interventions. They respond to local conditions and temporal uses, creating environments that are resilient, adaptable and alive.

By working with air, time and responsive strategies, architecture becomes a living mediator between climate, materials and needs. These projects reveal how invisible layers can guide design decisions, shaping not only comfort but also experience, memory, and the continuity of space.Through this lens, microclimatic architecture demonstrates that attentive, context-sensitive design can generate meaningful responses to climate change, balancing environmental responsibility with atmospheric experience.
