place making

Drawing of people seeking shelter in green nature cocoons

Nature can be seen as the best safety shelter against the effects of global warming, like extreme weather

Architecture can be much more innovative to really help us deal with climate change and global warming (design and idea by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Water, as both rain and reservoirs can become essential parts of the design of places (design and idea by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Drawing of a coastal city protected against flooding

Coastal and river cities can be designed much smarter to deal with flooding from both inland and sea (design and idea by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Green villages combining sustainability with community building and thrive can be self sustaining in ways that are both global and local (design and idea by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Battling global warming by using wood in much more innovative ways in architecture and design (Concept idea and design by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Drawing of people on islands but where the water is gone

We need to find new ways to design places, so we can deal better with more extreme fluctuations under global warming

Working with Nature in designing places and connections is the best strategy to stop global warming ( concept design idea by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Drawing of an old wood cabin on the front of a glass - steel high rise building

Industrial architecture and romantic back to nature architecture… Two of the the ways architects often suggest us to use to deal with new challenges like global warming. But there are many other alternatives

Drawing of a green nature office design by Frits Ahlefeldt

Nature inspired systems in office design can help people thrive, connect and be more creative – AND it will also be better to deal with climate change than standard office designs (Feel sketch by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Drawing of high green wind swaying buildings

We can move with nature instead of fighting it – Sea weed inspired green high rise design by Frits Ahlefeldt

Drawing of an cirkular extreme sustainable eco house

Extreme green architecture can look very different than classic architecture ( Green architectural design and idea by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Drawing of a round building with green roof

Classic squared buildings can be upgraded in a number of ways to better deal with extreme weather and support thrive at the same time (design and idea by Frits Ahlefeldt )

Drawing of an ocean tree house for extreme sustainability and green living

Under global warming and rising sea-levels we have to re-think how we design architecture along our coasts and close to the sea (designs and ideas by Frits Ahlefeldt )

We need to sketch up and dare think much more radical green designs and ideas (Design and idea by Frits Ahlefeldt )
