I remember my dad taking me round buildings when I was younger and I found it so boring, but as an adult I'm now the boring one and can appreciate a good archway 😂 Little snippet of information from the website 𝘩𝘵𝘵𝘱𝘴://𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮/ - "Consecrated in the 11th century, Lincoln Cathedral has welcomed people through its doors for almost a thousand years.  It is one of the great Cathedrals of the world, attracting visitors of all ages and nationalities. The Cathedral is first and foremost a place of worship and pilgrimage.  The daily offering of prayer and praise, enriched by wonderful music, beats at the heart of the Cathedral’s life.  Our services are open to all, and our welcome extends to people of all faiths and none. We are also a popular attraction for visitors to the city, and host a range of events throughout the year. Our Father Willis organ is one of the finest organs in the world. It us used every day for our services as well as special events. To ensure it always sounds its best it is tuned regularly; usually on a Wednesday in the middle of the month. If you visit us on organ tuning day, expect to hear long, continuous notes played as each note is checked and tuned. It’s not the most beautiful sound you’ll hear from the organ, but it is necessary. To make sure every member of the family has fun, you’ll find exciting activities and information around every corner as you explore the Cathedral. At the welcome desk you can pick up a themed backpack. For younger children, there is an activity trolley with books, dressing-up, puppets and much more. We aim to provide a space which is welcoming to all and are committed to inclusive practices through staff training and physical adaptations where possible."

How are natural #DisasterResistant design elements integrated into #Solarpunk buildings?

Publication date: 2023-09-02

"In Solarpunk buildings, #NaturalDisaster-resistant design elements are integrated through a combination of passive and active design strategies. Here are a few ways in which these elements can be incorporated:

1. Site selection and orientation: Solarpunk buildings are typically situated in areas that are less susceptible to natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, or tsunamis. Careful evaluation of the site's history and potential risks helps in choosing locations that are more resilient. Additionally, the building orientation can be optimized to maximize natural light and minimize exposure to prevailing winds or storms.

2. Structural reinforcements: Solarpunk buildings embrace resilient construction techniques to withstand natural disasters. This may include reinforced foundations, #earthquake-resistant designs, #hurricane-resistant materials, and robust structural systems that can withstand high winds, seismic activity, or even #ExtremeWeather events.

3. Green roofs and rainwater harvesting: Green roofs, which incorporate vegetation on the rooftop, offer several benefits when it comes to natural disaster resilience. They can help mitigate stormwater runoff, reducing the strain on existing drainage systems during heavy rainfalls or floods. Additionally, rainwater harvesting systems can be implemented to collect and store rainwater for future use, serving as an alternative water source during emergencies.

4. Passive climate control: Solarpunk design emphasizes #PassiveCooling and heating strategies to reduce energy consumption and reliance on mechanical systems. Natural ventilation through well-placed windows, louvers, or roof vents can help regulate indoor temperatures. By not relying heavily on air conditioning units, Solarpunk buildings can maintain habitability even during power outages caused by natural disasters.

5. #Renewable energy systems: Solarpunk buildings integrate renewable energy systems like solar panels or wind turbines to generate electricity on-site. This reduces dependence on centralized energy grids, making the building more self-sufficient and resilient in the face of power disruptions caused by natural disasters. Battery storage systems can also be incorporated to store excess energy and provide backup power during emergencies.

6. Water management and flood-resistance: Solarpunk buildings employ strategies such as permeable paving, #RainGardens, and water retention ponds to manage #stormwater. These features help minimize the risk of #flooding and prevent damage caused by heavy rains or extreme weather events.

"By combining these design elements, Solarpunk buildings aim to create sustainable and resilient structures that can better withstand the challenges posed by natural disasters."
