    Sydney’s fish market and adapting to climate change

    In contrast to the other presentation you have seen today, with ideas and solutions, my ted talk
    is mostly about a story: a story that inspired me and i hope will inspire also you this evening.
    During the Easter vacation, I took a brief cruise in Denmark and visited the Danish Architecture
    Centre (DAC), a center dedicated to promoting architecture, urban development, and
    environmentally friendly cityscapes. One of the exhibitions I liked most was about the Sydney
    fish market. It will be rebuilt by 3XN, a Danish architecture company whose goal is to make
    buildings centered around environment-friendly technology. The new fish market will be more
    climate-friendly but keep the identity of the historical fish market.

    [Construction materials slide]

    One of the most remarkable aspects of the building is its use of sustainable materials. From the
    ground up, the new fish market incorporates eco-friendly materials that minimize environmental
    impact while maximizing efficiency. For example, the concrete for the building has been
    designed for the site and meets sustainability requirements by utilizing many recycled contents.
    Furthermore, the project is getting concrete from local suppliers, to reduce the carbon footprint
    of concrete deliveries. But the roof of the building was the hook that led me to change my topic
    and start over.

    [The roof slide]

    The main structure that supports the roof is made from glulam (laminated timber) beams.
    The glulam beams are sustainable and renewable and have a lower embodied carbon footprint,
    with fewer greenhouse gases produced and less water, energy, and fossil fuels used during
    production than a traditional building. The roof is built from repetitive modular elements [slide
    change] that minimize material waste and create an efficient building process (because they
    are easy to place). But what is actually special about the roof itself? Well, first of all, something
    that for some reason blew me away is that the panels for the roof, other than being, well, solid,
    make enough light pass through the roof so that there is no need for traditional electric lighting,
    but block enough sun rays to give shading. Not only that, the panels themselves have solar
    panels installed on them, which will generate up to 10% of the daily energy consumption of the
    market. EVEN MORE, the panels are made so that they ventilate, not only reducing GREATLY
    energy consumption but also probably removing one of the biggest downsides of a fish market:
    stink1!!!11; Other than that, the roof also collects rainwater, which is going to be used for
    irrigation of surrounding vegetation (which will be present in the building) and other needs of the
    building. But the building also helps nature in another way, and that way is cleaning the seas.

    [The sea cleaning]

    This is why, close to the building, there are going to be seabins, small bins that filter water and
    collect all the impurities.
    [explain the things on screen]
    Many other of these bins have already been placed in other centric locations in the Sydney
    harbor, like the opera house, and [data].

    But how can we use what we learned from this project to make more buildings sustainable?
    Well, my idea is to use the roof panels. Easy to transport, easy to assemble, and very eco-
    friendly. Not only for new buildings but also when upgrading old ones.

    There is a problem when it comes to building locations and buildings like this: And that is…

    [Money]

    When creating such complex and innovative buildings, the biggest problem most of the time is
    money and investments. Implementing these technologies raises construc tion costs, potentially
    leading to higher prices for consumers or straining public project budgets. For example, the
    budget for the project was originally 250 million dollars (slide) but then triplicated (750 slide). At
    the same time, while buildings like the fish market can withstand the heavy construction costs
    by becoming major landmarks in the city and getting huge profits from tourism, we have to
    remember that if we apply this solution, most buildings will not be able to sustain the rising
    construction costs.

    Conclusion:

    In the end, stories of buildings such as the new Sydney fish market inspire us to create new and
    better buildings for the future, by using new technologies and solutions, for a better future.
