A Green New Deal is the transit from a mineral architecture to
vegetal architecture.
The number one cause of Global warming is Architecture - the
buildings. Buildings are responsible for 40% of the Co2 that is
emitted into the atmosphere. The architects must take this
responsibility and move from geopolitics towards biosphere
politics. A Green New Deal is a real test of how this can be
achieved. The context for the intervention is an existing historic
building in Barcelona, the Centre of Arts Santa Monica; a building
to explore the Third Industrial Revolution as the potential of a
transformation towards an empathic architecture. Nature should let
us show the path. Cloud 9 equipped the trees in front of Arts Santa
Monica with sensors that capture data on temperature, humidity and
light energy to inform the building. The intervention is an
installation on the facade that produces energy from the
environment, like the sun and wind. It is an additional skin which
allows control of natural light and regulates solar radiation.
