Climate change is now affecting every country on every continent. It is disrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and countries dearly today and even more tomorrow. Weather patterns are changing, sea levels are rising, weather events are becoming more extreme and greenhouse gas emissions are now at their highest levels in history. Without action, the world's average surface temperature is likely to surpass a 3 degrees centigrade increase this century. The poorest and most vulnerable people are being affected the most.

Affordable, scalable solutions are now available to enable countries to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies. Climate change, however, is a global challenge that does not respect national borders. It is an issue that requires solutions that need to be coordinated at the international level to help developing countries move toward a low-carbon economy.

Cricket Upcycles Contribution

The CO2 impact of the project is minimal, through intergrating renewable energy produvtion, sustainable material selection and design to optimise climactic comfort with a minimum of energy consumption for heating, cooling and lighting. The project incorporates natural light, natural ventilation and careful consideration to the thermal properties of the building envelope. Sustainable consumption and production is about promoting resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs and a better quality of life for all. Its implementation helps to achieve overall development plans, reduce future economic, environmental and social costs, strengthen economic competitiveness and reduce poverty.

Worldwide material consumption has expanded rapidly, as has rnaterial footprint per capita, seriously jeopardising the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 12 and the Goals more broadly. Urgent action is needed to ensure that current material needs do not lead to the overextraction of resources or to the degradation of environmental resources, and should include policies that improve resource efficiency, reduce waste and mainstream sustainability practices across all sectors of the economy.

Cricket Upcycles Contribution

Firstly the selction of our food source greatly effects our planet, the amount of green house gasses emited through the processed of traditional livestock farming method is devestating. Cricket upCycles provides a significantly better alternative. Furthermore the project is designed for dissaembly, through careful maintenance, and consideration for durability and lifecycles, the project aims to mitigate the value loss and waste production in the industry and through individual componant cradle to cradle plans. unabling the entire unit to be recycles or upcycled. The project is predominently made of renewable natural resources. Concieved of as a kit of parts and assembled by hand on site.

This has be a fantastic project which has organically developed and has shaped my intrest as an architect, Ireally enjoyed the live nature of this project, learning about ricket farming and th UN sustainability goals. Moving forward im undecided, i have a few things that intrest me to persue. On path is to carry on the inscet farm project to see if i can work with Karma Nutra to the realisation of the project, exploring the proposal in a real context, building mock ups and having to make decisions to develop the proposal to achieve my objectives.

Alternatively my other intrest lie with advance material technology, reaserch and fabrication methods. I would like to continue the journey i started with my dissertation on Biomimicry using studio 2 and 3 asresearch through design, and i thought it would be idea to use the insct farm typology as a vehicle for this research, as it allows me to tackle the issues of envelope thermal properties and lighting, on a small scale project.
