Drawing from the unique context and climate of the Himalaya, this
book highlights several innovative design interventions, shaped by
a myriad of social, cultural, environmental, and political factors
that have been employed in villages to combat climate change.
Climate-Adaptive Design in High Mountain Villages focuses on
Ladakh, an outpost on the front lines of climate change, and the
region's creative responses to the pressing issues of food
security, water management, energy efficiency, design aid, and
material resources in the Anthropocene. These strategies - from
artificial glaciers to tree armor - showcase the breadth of
creative solutions already underway. In doing so, the research
addresses the broader concept of climate-adaptive design and how it
informs the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture,
and urban planning. An ideal read for academics, researchers, and
students in these fields, this book presents a focused
investigation into climate-adaptive strategies that could provide
transferable solutions for the rest of the world.
