Event Description

This session presents a dual-strategy approach to urban resilience: the "50L Challenge" for behavioral water conservation and "The Mesh Protocol" for emergency infrastructure. Participants will explore how to transform residential buildings from passive structures into active organisms. By integrating LoRaWAN mesh networks, architects can ensure that critical safety data relating to fire prevention and water management survives even during total grid and Wi-Fi failure. The course demonstrates how to move beyond "deprivation" toward a wellness-based architectural model.
