Beyond Sustainable Architecture | Davis Richardson | TEDxUTAustin

Climate change and energy scarcity are both inhuman problems. These issues are monoliths, transcending cultures and generations, and it’s unclear what decisions need to be made today in order to combat them. Student architect Davis Richardson wants the structures we build to be just as dynamic, vast, and elaborate as the problems we face. By putting ourselves in situations that are sustainable and shockingly different from the status quo, we can inspire a new wave of environmentalism and challenge humanity’s obstacles into the future.

Thanking Driss Elmeloud (@iamdriss) for the opening gears animation reel. Davis is a Bartlett Cocke Scholar and M.Arch I Candidate at UT Austin's School of Architecture (UTSOA). He is also the Editor for Essays and Interviews for ISSUE, UTSOA's student publication of the best projects of the year, and a designer at THOUGHTBARN, an architecture studio in Austin. His writing has been featured in PLAT, an architecture journal from Rice University, on CritDay, an architecture-student feed, and more; he's spoken at events on architecture, affordable housing, and sustainability, including SXSW, Mensa, and the American Institute of Architecture Students, following the success of the tiny house he built himself in 2016. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
