(How) Sustainable structures need to be improvised based on climate change so that it will enroute towards green sustainability making Advance Technology (Inclusive).
Role of BIM in designing climate resilient structures and driving sustainability in the AEC industry is also vital.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges that our planet is facing today. The impacts of climate change are already being felt in many parts of the world, with extreme weather events becoming more frequent and more intense. I believe that in order to tackle this challenge, it is essential to move towards green and sustainable infrastructures and technologies. One way to achieve this is to design infrastructure that is resilient to the effects of climate change. This can include building structures that are better able to withstand extreme weather events, such as flooding, storms and heatwaves. It also means using materials and technologies that are more energy-efficient, such as solar panels and LED lighting.
In addition, new technologies such as smart grids, smart buildings and smart cities can help to reduce the environmental impacts of urban development and to manage energy more efficiently. These technologies can enable better data collection, analysis and decision-making, and enable the use of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar.
Finally, it is important to ensure that these technologies are accessible and affordable to all, so that they can be used by everyone. This means investing in research and development to make sure that new technologies are accessible and affordable to everyone, regardless of income or geography. Overall, sustainable infrastructures and technologies are essential to tackling climate change. They can help to reduce emissions, improve resilience and enable us to make the most of renewable energy sources. By investing in research and development, making sure that new technologies are accessible and affordable and designing infrastructure that is resilient to the impacts of climate change, we can help to ensure a more sustainable future for our planet.
There are several challenges that must be addressed in order to achieve sustainability in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.
To overcome these challenges, there needs to be a concerted effort to increase awareness and education about sustainability in the AEC industry, as well as incentives and support to encourage the adoption of sustainable practices and technologies. Additionally, the industry needs to work towards standardization and collaboration, and prioritize long-term thinking to ensure a sustainable future.

Improvising does not mean improvising without plan or criteria. It is about adapting and modifying existing designs and technologies, or even creating innovative solutions quickly and efficiently, using available resources and considering the specific needs of the local context. For example, Sustainable construction materials, such as bamboo, rammed earth or recycled plastic, can be used with innovative construction techniques, such as 3D printing or modular construction, or Sensors and monitoring systems that allow optimizing the use of energy and water, and detect structural failures and improve occupant comfort.
