Comunicato stampa

Heavy rains, floods, heat waves – while climate change reveals itself worldwide in increasing temperatures, extreme weather and rising sea levels, its effects are directly felt at the local level of the city. In the foreseeable future, temperatures will reach levels that people, animals, plants and infrastructure will barely be able to tolerate. This endangers not only the social life and productivity of the city, but also the health and survival of its residents. There is an urgent need for action!

STRESSTEST, the German Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Nicola Borgmann, Elisabeth Endres, Gabriele G. Kiefer and Daniele Santucci, takes this concrete threat as its starting point: The exhibition makes the future reality of urban climate physically and psychologically tangible and impressively illustrates that architecture and landscape architecture not only can, but must create climate-friendly cities.
