Work is unfinished. Still, doesn't look good.

What do you think?

Building: Slovak Radio building in Bratislava.

Plants, trees and mushrooms follow the same structure.

Birds and bees often make their nests/hives on a simmilar pattern.

Maybe there's some advantage to it.

I was thinking if these could be good idea:

PROS:

• Lots of shadow minimizes heat island effect on ground.
• Allows more public space at ground level, for whatever is needed. Bike parkings, gardens, markets, playgrounds, third spaces...
• Lots of space on top for solar or gardens or meetings.
• Plants do the same to grab the most sun while the shadow they cast prevents competition (more cool at street level, more warm at top level, more surface for solar, just like a plant).
• Protection from bad weather.
• Blocks light pollution more efficiently.

CONS:

• Maybe inefficient use of land?
• Less durable or more brittle?
• Higher maintenance?
• Not very accessible unless elevators are used (normal builsings have tis too, tho).

More pros or cons?

From inside it looks so peaceful and spacious!

I know the developers of the "solarpunk" game suited for the copyright of the word "solarpunk" on a german tribunal, amidst other countries.

Any news on how the issue is progressing?

Imagne: Climate changes around the mediterranean in 2100

I discovered this trick, Did a quick try and found out it can reduce indoor temps for 2-3 Cº.

They have to be removed during night.

These are car shades I bought on a whim, but I know there are shades for specifically for home windows too.

Do you guys know window shades made in EU? Can you share the link if you do?

Pro-Tip: Put them outside, if you put them inside the glass can overheat and break. Be careful not to fall down too!

Pro-Tip: When the window glasses heat, they act as radiators. Spray a bit of water outside of them and the evaporation will cool them quickly, and will even make them "steal heat" from the room.

I put this on some parts of my home and I can immediately feel the relief and even a drop in humidity.

I take them out in the night/late-evening to let the infrared radiation from inside the bedroom get out, and let the cool night air in, and then put them back in the morning.

I am thinking on combining them with some awnings, so as to provide a cool spot for them to release the IR radiation accumulated faster.

Can we discuss strategies to optimize these? Best compositions?
