After Dorian

I rather think the Bahamas are going to need lots of help.

These big hurricanes are going to become regular events. Given that, maybe we should be designing buildings that can stand 200mph+ winds.

Conditions change architecture and act as an editor to our notions of permanence or even longevity. One day the mountain will be little other than hummock on the plain; and its particles strewn to the wind. Time and climate change will destroy our architecture from Stonehenge and the Pyramids, through to the Taj Mahal, St Peter’s in Rome, or the Houses of Parliament.

Cultures born of humans are mortal and will fail unless they transform. Some caterpillars never manage to get to the butterfly stage.
