The climate emergency imposes new paradigms on architecture, which must reconcile sustainability, innovation, and social impact. The panel "Contemporary Architecture and Climate Emergency" is based on the premise that public and private sectors intertwine in environmental responsibility. KAAN Architecten's work seeks to create buildings that positively impact people and nature, integrating sustainable materials, climate adaptation, and cultural appreciation. We reuse existing structures, promote urban densification with active pavements, and build spaces valued by the community. During the session, Renata Gilio, Vincent Panhujsen, and Marco Peixe will present concrete examples organized into five themes: low carbon, community integration, structural reuse, urban densification, and reflection on regulatory changes. The examples presented will be: Lagoa do Sino Library of UFSCar in Buri/SP, Strijp S – Matchbox in Eindhoven (Netherlands), Court of Nancy (France), Utopia – Library and Academy of Arts in Aalst (Belgium), Court of Amsterdam (Netherlands), Ecomuseum of Parque Orla Piratininga in Niterói/RJ, NBB National Bank (Belgium), FAMA – Fábrica de Arte Marcos Amaro in Itu/SP and Lumière in Rotterdam (Netherlands).
