The Earth Convention
How might volcanoes, wildfires, and migration shape the years and decades ahead? Join Bill McGuire, Gaia Vince and Melissa Sterry, as they share their thoughts at The Earth Convention - The Four Elements: Fire.
Curated by 5x15 and sponsored by Rathbones, this online event looks beyond the short term to help shape a more sustainable outcome for people and planet.
Wildfire Resistance through Architecture
Design scientist Dr. Melissa Sterry takes a look at the potential for urban/peri-urban resilience to wildfires through the creation of complex adaptive architectural systems. By mimicking the biochemistries, behaviours, and relationships of fire-adapted flora and fauna species, our society could create towns and cities that cycle in symbiosis with wildfire in its varied forms. Joining journalist Kate Ravilious, Sterry considers the urgent need to examine the challenge of living with wildfire as a vital landscape process.
