The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of creating a prototype of a self-sufficient houseboat that is capable of prolonged independence from power grids and freshwater sources. In this design, electricity demand is met by a photovoltaic installation, and the energy is stored in batteries. Fresh water for living needs may be obtained from many sources, depending on the environmental conditions, such as through purifying...

In the contemporary urban landscape, walkability is shaped by the spatial characteristics of the built environment and its ability to adapt to environmental risks, particularly those posed by climate change. This study explores the intersection of walkability and flood adaptation strategies in waterfront public spaces across nine cities in the Baltic Sea Region, analysing their morphological characteristics with a focus on connectivity,...

New architectural approaches for adapting cities to climate change demand a comprehensive and integrated perspective. One of the complementary methods of educating students involves creating laboratories dedicated to specific topics, implemented within a network of collaborating universities. The Laboratory for Adaptation of Urban Areas to Climate Change, focused on flooding resilience and climate-sensitive waterfronts as vital...
