ARCHITECTURE

Educating the next generation of climate-resilience leaders is essential to securing our future.

“I consider education in the field of climate resilience to be highly important—indeed essential—in the current context of significant climate change. For this reason, we regard the CARA.ACADEMY initiative as extremely beneficial both for educating architecture students and students of related disciplines, as well as for lifelong learning among practicing professionals.

I particularly appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of the educational activities, the connection of experts from various fields and universities, and the format of the learning modules, which is highly valuable due to their relevance, clarity, effective presentation, and the emphasis on interdisciplinarity.”

1.

URGENCY OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The climate threat calls for the immediate activation of experts across all sectors — especially young people, the future creators of our living environment.

2.

NEW COMPLEX TECHNOLOGIES

The technological complexity of buildings, stricter energy and quality standards, and the growing integration of architecture with technology are placing ever-increasing demands on the professional preparedness of architects.

3.

EVOLVING NEEDS IN EDUCATION

The education system struggles to respond flexibly to the rapidly changing content demands brought on by the climate crisis — and equally to the evolving forms of learning that align with the expectations of today’s young generation.

4.

LACK OF TECHNICIANS

Technical education is facing low interest from young students, which results in a shortage of designers in practice and at the same time increases the demands on architects’ technical skills in the field of building technologies

Partner educational institution

CARA Academy is built on active cooperation between the ADAPTUJ.SK platform and renowned educational institutions that prepare future leaders in climate resilience for professional practice.
