Years of architectural treasures face a dire future with carbon stranding, which makes buildings financially non-viable. This phenomenon arises from strict carbon regulations that threaten entire heritage districts. Architectural preservation is challenged by the need to address carbon footprints that jeopardize these structures' futures. The Barcelona Pavilion illustrates this dilemma, evolving into a laboratory where CO₂ levels and embodied carbon coefficients are critical for determining the survival of heritage buildings as financial assets.
In UrbanDecarbonisation: Destranding Cities for a Post-fossil Future, the concept of 'carbon stranding' threatens to render entire heritage districts financially extinct before they reach their centennials.
Architectural preservation now faces a paradox: how to protect the past when its carbon footprint threatens to erase its future in light of tightening carbon regulations.
Designers confronted the challenges of carbon stranding in Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, transforming the space into a laboratory for assessing carbon impacts.
As carbon regulations tighten, historical buildings may become financially non-viable, showing that numbers related to CO₂ and embodied carbon coefficients dictate their potential survival.
