Personal Sky Equipment for Inhabitants of Coastal Cities: Envisioning an Evacuation System to Reduce Disaster's Impact During the Climate Change Era

摘要

The paper explores the possibilities of architectural design to benefit human condition,which encompasses physical environment of safe life during the climate change era and predicted disasters.The first part deal with the problem of natural disasters and hazards during the climate change era and human beings react to them.The second part presents,among others,results of the research program undertaken at West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin by author.The program is focused on adaptive built environments and envision new solutions based on advanced digital technology.Presented design contains a systemic solution the problem of disaster security in high-urbanized areas.This is a proposal of active infrastructure to reduce disaster's impact to urban environment through using personal flying evacuation equipment and safe landing site.The conclusion emphasizes the significance of integrated approach to design i.e.interdisciplinary collaboration between architects,structure,material and environmental engineers.Preventing loss of life and mitigation of damage is a challenge for coastline communities.The methods of solving the”tsunami problem”hold inherent social issues that make planning for disaster a complex problem requiring structural engineering and architectural design directing attention to the solutions.This study highlights the problem of coastal societies and serves as a useful background for further research on the possibilities of redefining sustainable and human friendly design.
