Addressing global warming, innovative uses of agricultural residues are being implemented in India, one of the largest rice-producing countries. This initiative recognizes the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions in the built environment. It also prevents the release of carbon and methane from agricultural waste. This design project advances the promise of the proposal by incorporating interior building materials made from natural substances, utilizing strategically designed structural elements and insulation modules. This approach demonstrates the potential for the building industry to contribute to combating the climate crisis we face. Urban cities built with this strategy could function as a form of carbon sequestration.
This multifaceted strategy exemplifies humanity’s capacity for innovation, steering us toward carbon-negative cities and sustainable urban landscapes that balance growth with ecological sustainability.
