Abstract
By showcasing architectural concepts of buildings that
save emissions and energy through material and land use, we are
encouraged to live slowly in a sustainable way. Here, we present design
projects by Master's students of architecture in Building Design Studio,
Autumn 2020.
Tourism is shifting globally in the age of climate crises. Mass tourism will decrease, and local travel destinations will become more important. Instead of flying somewhere for a weekend, people will stay longer when they travel. Lapland is becoming more important as a tourist destination because of its pure and untouchable nature. The architecture for tourism in the region should respect its fragile nature and adapt to its local cultural context.
