On Mountains: Architectural Designs Adjusted for High-Altitude Climates

"The communities settled in mountain ecosystems are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because of their proximity to early symptoms of changing environments and lack of access to adaptive resources and materials."

"It is an urgent challenge to design solutions that properly resist hostile climatic conditions and promote sustainable and safe human settlements in mountainous regions."

"The future of mountainous environments depends on a unique approach to ecological urbanism and the urgent need for thoughtful, contextual design in the twenty-first century."

"The alpine climate, characterized by freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall, presents unique challenges for construction and demands innovative approaches to building in such harsh conditions."
