What role do forests play in our daily lives? In what ways can they be converted into living spaces? What strategies can be implemented to reduce the environmental impact of our buildings? On the International Day of Forests, which is celebrated every 21st of March, this year we propose to raise awareness of the links between forests and our daily lives. Even though deforestation continues to advance, forests represent a source of great economic, social and ecological benefits.
While multiple factors such as sunlight, accessibility, runoff and others must be considered when implementing an architectural project within these environments, forests play a fundamental role in combating climate change and respecting them would benefit not only present but also future generations.
