Zusammenfassung:"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 armour - 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.
