Weathering Architecture seeks to initiate a dialogue on climate change, architecture and material innovations involving local citizens. Architecture is the protagonist in the performance and the exhibition that brings together video and sound projections, spoken word, and design prototypes to capture the interaction between architecture, people and the atmospheric conditions that surround them. It is structured around the question of how we, as inhabitants of large cities, can reconstruct a positive cycle of events to alter the negative impact of urban development on the natural environment. Using the elements of weather as a vehicle to question and reveal our built environments’ impact on climate change and energy consumption, the narrative focuses on subversion of 

the current architectural debate from mega cultural infrastructure projects to local speculations about how we are building in the near and distant future.
