Architecture's Role in Mitigating Climate Risks Amid Rising Uninsurability
• Insurers are withdrawing from high-risk areas due to frequent extreme weather, causing rising premiums and uninsurability.
• Architecture must evolve to design buildings resilient to flooding, fires, and other disasters using passive thermal strategies and durable materials.
• Integrating renewable energy and implementing coastal resilience strategies are crucial for mitigating climate risks and ensuring habitable buildings during grid failures.
