Design
1_The Design
One planet thinking – Club of Rome
Introduction: Code red for humanity
• We did too little, too late
• Sustainability is not enough
o Architects have a responsibility to consider the impact of our work on the environment.
 We must take time to educate ourselves and gather as much information as possible
o Scientists have been warning us about the dangers of climate change for more than half a century
 There are stil those who refuse to acknowledge the severity of the problem
o Effects of climate change
 Rising sea levels
 Extreme weather events
 Loss of biodiversity
o Architects can make a difference
 Design energy-efficient buildings
• Use better materials
• Minimize environmental impact
 Advocate for policies and practices that promote regenerative design
• Latest science on climate tipping points
o 16 main system risks
 Systems regulate the climate on earth
• Have been stable and resilient for 10 000 years
• Within each system is a tipping point
o Push them too far and they will irreversibly shift from supporting humanity to undermining
humanity
• Today the majority of these systems are showing signs of destabilization
 At 1.5°C we are likely to cross four tipping points
• Now we use 1% every month of our remaining carbon budget
• Breaking boundaries: the science of our planet – David Attenborough
o Tells the story of the most important scientific discovery of our time
 Humanity has pushed Earth beyond the boundaries
Take what you need: for free
• The exploitation of our planet without any limits is growing
o We take more than we need and never give anything back
 Our planet is a generous system: every day we receive almost everything we need
 We use our planet on a daily basis
• Water, energy, materials, food, space, fresh air, …

, • Anthropocene – Mongrel Media
o A cinematic meditation on humanity’s massive reengineering of the planet
 Documentary film
• What if each extraction means less planet?
o Then our future is self-destruction
Produce and create a market to sell as cheap as possible
• The exploitation of people
o Too many people work for unfair minimum wages
• We produce as cheaply as possible
o In locations with large numbers of workers
• Manufactured landscapes – Jennifer Baichwal
o A feature length documentary on the world and work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky
 Large-scale photographs of manufactured landscapes
• Quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines, dams.
 Civilization’s materials and debris
 But in a way people describe it as stunning or beautiful
• Raises questions about ethics and aesthetics
o Follows Burtynsky to China
 Travels the country photographing the evidence and effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution.
• Ex.
o Three Gorges Dam
 Bigger by 50% than any other dam in the world and displaced over a million
people
 Factory flows over a kilometre long




Consume as fast as possible
• We make products that break down quickly
o This allows us to sell more
• We dump cheap products in the market in large numbers
o Fast consumption is the emphasis
Bad design quickly becomes waste
• Dump waste as cheaply as possible
o Our earth becomes a giant wasteland
o We dump literally everything in our environment
• What we have to offer our planet is waste, pollution, CO2 and foreign substances that unbalance nature
o What do we have to offer our planet?
o Do we ever give anything back?
o Or are we just exploiters?
• Clothes aren’t kil ing the planet, but mass consumption is.
o Our need to constantly change our look
 A need created by the fashion industry
 The only true victim to fashion is the climate

, o Now they say the fashion industry is changing for the better
 But is it really?
• Collections that are more sustainable
o Stil encourages ppl to throw their sustainable clothes away when the new sustainable
collection drops.
 To truly make a change for the better, we have to create sustainable lifestyles
• We have to make it stylish to not change our style every week.
o Create clothes that are meant to be worn a whole life
 Quality
 Looks
 Become more beautiful the more you wear them, the more you repair them.
• The construction industry is the biggest polluter
o Waste is an important part of building.
The limits to growth - Club of Rome, 1972
• People are increasingly aware of the fact that our way of life is damaging our planet
o What we ask for on a daily basis is no longer balanced with the capacity of our planet.
• The limits of Growth
o Commissioned by the club of Rome
o Report that discussed the possibility of exponential economic and population growth with finite supply of resources,
studied by computer simulation
 Used the world computer model to simulate the consequence of interactions between the earth and human
systems
o Conclude
 Without substantial changes in resource consumption, the most probable result will be rather sudden and
uncontrollable decline in both population and industrial capacity
o Subsequent work to validate its forecasts continue to confirm that insufficient changes have been made since 1972
• The origin
o Urged humanity to act
 Its vivid and almost haunting description of the consequences of exponential growth
• Confronted with finite resources
 Continuous economic and demographical growth will hit the limits of naturally provided resources
• Lead very likely to overshoot, collapse and radical decrease of most people’s standard of living
o Accompanied by international crises, conflicts and catastrophes
o Study was supported by the German Volkswagen Foundation
• Graphics
o Diagram shows the projected trends of five variables
 Population
 Food
 Industrial output
 Pollution
 Resources
o From 1900 to 2100
o Based on the world computer model
 Simulates the interactions between the earth and human systems
 Standard run = business-as-usual scenario
• Assumes that no major changes are made in the physical, economic and social relations that have
governed the development of the world system in the past century.
o  leads to a collapse of population and industrial output around 2030
 Due to overshooting the limits of resources and pollution

, • 2010 review of the study
o The book has withstood the test of time and has only become more relevant
o With few exceptions, economics as a discipline has been dominated by a perception of living in an unlimited world
 Where resource and pollution problems in one area were solved by moving resources or people to other parts
o The very hint of any global limitation as suggested was met with disbelief and rejection by businesses and most
economists
 However this conclusion was mostly based on false premises
Our footprint is too big: we consume too much and too fast
• Our ecological footprint is indicating that the pressure on our planet is unacceptably high.
o Year after year it is stil growing
• Our ecological footprint – Mathis Wackernagel and William Rees, 1996
o First academic publication about ecological footprints
o The ecological footprint and calculation method was developed as the PhD
dissertation of Mathis Wackernagel, under Rees’ supervision at the university of Britisch Columbia, Canada
 Originally they called the concept ‘appropriated carrying capacity’
 To make the idea more accessible, Rees came up with the term ‘ecological footprint’
• Inspired by a computer’s ‘small footprint on the desk’
• The ecological footprint
o = the impact of a person or community on the environment expressed as the amount of land required to sustain their
use of natural resources.
 By means of ecological footprint analysis, it became possible for the first time to discuss sustainability
systematically.
• Earth overshoot day
o Computed by dividing the planet’s biocapacity, by humanity’s ecological footprint and multiplying by 365
 Biocapacity = the amount of ecological resources Earth is able to generate that year
 Ecological footprint = humanity’s demand that year
o Overshoot day the last 10 years:
 2014: august 5
 2015: august 7
 2016: august 9
 2017: august 5
 2018: august 1
 2019: august 3
 2020: august 16 (corona)
 2021: august 3
 2022: august 1
 2023: august 2
• Country overshoot day
o = the date on which Earth overshoot day would fall if all of humanity consumed like the people in that country
• Yearly ecological deficit
o In the sixties, there was stil an ecological reserve
 Changes fundamental in 1970
 After, the ecological deficit increases
o An important factor is the decreasing biocapacity
 = the earth’s ability to produce resources and absorb waste
o An increase in global population can result in a decrease in biocapacity
 Usually due to the fact that the earth’s resources have to be shared
• There becomes little to supply the increasing demand of the increasing population
o At this moment we are using more resources than the earth can regenerate
 Leading to a depletion of natural resources and an increase in waste
