The video explores the transition from childhood fears of hurricanes to the adult reality of climate change. It highlights the need for architecture that not only respects nature but also protects against it. The speaker discusses traditional building techniques, like the Bajan chattel house, and their resilience. Modern architecture can learn from these methods, using virtual reality to test and improve designs. The goal is to create structures that are culturally relevant and resilient, preparing for future climate challenges.
