Energy in the Cities - Global Warming - Climate Change - Birds Migration

Due to global warming, bird migrate two days earlier each decade

Similar to light pollution, a study suggests that rising temperatures are causing birds to migrate a little earlier each spring. Due to global warming that the journey home is shifting forward by a little less than two days each decade. That doesn’t sound like much. But if we calculate over 5 decade multiply by hundreds of migrating species all over the country. In other words, climate change is causing a noticeable, gradual, shift in one of nature’s grandest natural phenomena.

Due to global warming food availability is mismatch

An earlier bird migration due to global warming does not synch with the growth of new plants or the availability of food. Global Warming, Climate change might be affecting the timing of spring vegetation blooms or the abundance of insects and other food sources—factors that can strongly affect the survival of migrating birds. Besides food availability, global warming is like to impact bird migration such as increased storm frequency, lowered water tables, higher drought frequency, sea-level rise, and habitat shifts. 

Generally speaking, short and middle-distance migrating birds can adapt to climate changes more easily, whereas long-distance migrants are at a disadvantage. Their migration rhythm is usually more fixed and they struggle with readjustment to changing temperatures. Because of this rigidness, they suffer more from the impacts of climate change than other birds.

What should we do?

Climate change is in progress, and it is clear that it is affecting our environment, by adding to the disarrangement of ecological balances. It is not only in the interest of migratory birds but also in our own interest to protect all species on the planet earth against the impact of climate change.

Cities consume three-quarters of the world's energy and are responsible for 80% of its greenhouse gas emissions. First, reducing energy use in buildings such as HVAC and Lighting energy while promoting clean energy can slow global warming. Second, select the building location can lower building occupant transportation energy use. Finally use local building materials can decrease transportation and manufacturing energy uses.

Lights of the City - Beautify the City or Light Pollutant threats Living Creatures

“How do birds know when to fly to the sun?
Who tells them the seasons?
How do we, humans know when it is time to move on?
As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within if only we would listen to it, that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown.”

— Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (Swiss-American psychiatrist and author)

Besides help visual sensory, lights affect birds’ behavior and biology. Light pollution has been shown to change migration and nesting time, disorient migrating birds, disrupt hormones and sleep in birds and other wildlife, and contribute to declines in insects that birds eat.

As temperatures warm and plants bloom, eager birds await the arrival of summer residents like warblers, tanagers, vireos, and grosbeaks, the sights of light are a sure sign of spring of migrating birds. Light pollution in a city causes false signs of spring of mitigating birds, nesting, and mating time. This behavior change also affecting bird reproduction quantity and quality.

Excessive Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) can also disorient birds during migration, bright lights at night on large buildings attract birds in the same way that bright porch lights attract moths. Which can result in fatal collisions. A recent study estimates that between 100 million and one billion birds are killed in the United States each year as a result of collisions with buildings. Given that most songbirds migrate at night, it’s no surprise that light pollution is a significant contributor to the harm of these birds.

Same with humans and other living creatures, light pollution will disrupt the circadian rhythm that causes disrupt biological hormones that control sleep and awake condition. Disorientation of sleep and awake condition can cause serious health problems and that lead to death.

Last but not least, light pollution contributes to declining insects that birds eat. Over a seven-year period, the bird showed a real change in their reproduction when comparing behavior near streetlights with those without lights. The change was that, on average, females near lights laid their eggs 1.5 days earlier than those in the dark, this may lead to a mismatch between the timings of peak food demand from their baby chicks and the peak timing of food that is available.

Sounds of the City - Between Noise Pollution and Beautiful Soundscape?

“Have you ever wonder, where have all the birds gone? ”

In Jakarta city nowadays we hardly see birds nesting, flying, or looking for food. Some research says that nature soundscape such as the sound of running water, or birds singing will improve mental health. However, due to the increasing noise pollution, the sound of birds became the sound of machinery.

Loud sound can have a serious impact on human health as well as on ecosystems. The effects of noise pollution on birds have been a key subject of study for scientists and conservationists over the last decade. Researchers suggest that noise pollution affects their behavior, fitness, breeding, and growth, and often leads to chronic stress.

Scientists say that constant noise may form an acoustic blanket muffling the audio cues birds rely on to detect predators, competitors, and their species. Noise pollution delayed nesting for birds whose songs are at a lower frequency and thus more difficult to hear through low-frequency human noise. When considering noise pollution, results showed that birds living in forested environments tend to be more sensitive to noise than birds in open environments. 

You may have noticed that many birds around us sing at different pitches or volumes in response to noise. One well-known example is Robins, which sing at quieter times of the day or night. This could be seen as an adaptation, but the problem is that this change can disrupt mating and affect breeding success in such birds.

For birds, hearing is second in importance only to vision for monitoring the world around them. Avian hearing is most sensitive to sounds from about 1 to 4 kHz, although they can hear higher and lower frequencies. No species of bird has shown sensitivity to ultrasonic frequencies (>20 kHz). Sensitivity to frequencies below 20 Hz (infrasound) has not received much attention; however, pigeons and a few other species have shown behavioral and physiological responses to these low frequencies. In general, frequency discrimination in birds is only about one-half or one-third as good it is for humans within the 1 - 4 kHz range.

A problem that birds suffer that is similar to humans is damage to the auditory receptors (hair cells) from loud noises. The sound intensity that produces damage and the amount of damage produced differ depending on the species. Birds residing in the active areas of airports might be constantly subjected to sound pressure levels that damage their hearing. Thus, to effectively disperse birds using sound, auditory alerts must be at frequencies that can be detected by the damaged auditory receptors. Although some if not all species of birds have the ability to repair damaged hair cells, continued exposure to loud noises would prevent recovery of their hearing.

The evolution of Architecture’s Beauty and Science philosophy is by self-learning from its own history

Hegel's (1826) theory that architecture is the Absolute Spirit expresses cognitive content as an aspect of organizing the natural environment. As with Architecture History in general, Hegel offers a progressive account of architectural history, wherein successive stages the Symbolic, the Classical, and the Romantic periods bring increasing freedom among architectural objects from symbolism and purpose and enhanced expression of the Absolute Spirit.

Symbolic Architecture is where the shape of the architecture is trying to free itself from its nature, as Aristotle (384 BC) said that architecture form is pursuing the holiest picture of biological explorations as the “total form” of the animal. The paradigm example of Symbolic Architecture is Sphinx which might symbolize the holiest form of animal and the Pyramid that functions more as a symbol of the everlasting home for their king which regards as a son of God.

Sphinx and Pyramid is the paradigm example of Symbolic Architecture

Classical Architecture is a harmonious shape between form and function, the architecture is made from wood, stone, and marble. The architecture design and build with a purpose. The purpose of the temple mainly concentrated on the naos, the "dwelling" of the cult statue. A famous example of Classical Architecture is the Greek Temple. The elaboration of the temple's external aspects served to stress the dignity of the naos. Similar to the Pyramid the interior part of the architecture is remark as a sacred place.

An image of Greek temple made from stone and mud

Romantic Architecture philosophy is born after Christianity, so the interior function as a collective place for people to celebrate or worship. The architecture concept of beauty is beyond functionality with decorative ornament and stained glasses due to the development of material process technology and architecture science. This is true even of the Gothic, which Hegel takes as an ultimate (if qualified) success in the history of architecture for its metaphorical communication of spirit.

Along with the material technology and architecture science - Gothic Architecture is the enhanced expression of the Absolute Spirit

After Hegel's theory about Romantic Architecture which is the time when he lived, below are some thoughts from modern Architecture philosophers.

Merleau-Ponty (1945) that our existence in the world is best understood through ways it is shaped by the bodily experience of our surroundings. That bodily experience is relative to what appears in our visual field, to our tactile and kinesthetic engagement (hence to our position and motion), and to who we are as individuals and group members.

Graham (2012), the central problem of architectural aesthetics is to account for architectural meaning and value while embracing a synthesis of artistic value and utility (“engineering”) value.

J. Robinson (2012) offers an architectural application: our experience of the built environment shapes our appreciation of, and abilities to negotiate our surroundings.

ALTA Integra believes that smart and strategic integration of Architectural Building Physics knowledge such as Acoustic, Lighting, Thermal, Air Quality, and other disciplines into the built environment will make a big impact in our future history.

Modern architecture is to find the optimal blend of purpose, art and engineering

Illumination Environment and Human Biological Response

Gereja Katedral Jakarta Plaza Sumpah Pemuda Lighting Condition

Several studiesanalyzed how humans respond to a space environment and noted that people can react to space in a cognitive, emotional, and biological way. Besides cognitive and emotional responses under certain lighting conditions, we have interesting questions about the short-term biological effects of lighting on people.

If we look at the two pictures below, will people respond differently?

How people will behave in this lighting condition?

If they walking passing by, which route do they take?

How fast are they walking speed?

Will people behave differently in this lighting condition compare to the above light condition?

Will they take different route?

Will they walk faster or slower?

ALTA Integra believes strategic Integration of Architectural Building Physics knowledge such as Acoustic, Lighting, Thermal, Air Quality, and other disciplines in the built environment will make a big impact.

Night Sky Biomimicry Design in Home Theater

biomimicry night sky in home theater design side view

Biomimicry design is a concept used within the building architecture to increase occupant connectivity to the natural environment through the use of direct nature, artificial technology to create nature ambient, in space and place situation.

Biophilia term has been used since by many scientists, and philosophers overall being adapted to several different areas of study. Some notable mentions of biophilia include Edward O. Wilson’s book Biophilia (1984) where he took a biologist’s approach and first coined the “Biophilia hypothesis” and popularized the notion. Wilson defined biophilia as “the innate tendency to focus on life and lifelike processes”, claiming a link with nature is not only physiological but has a genetic basis.

In this Home Theater project, ALTA Integra’s multi-discipline design team recreate a family entertainment ambient as if they sit under a night sky. Now the happy family can enjoy gaming, karaoke, or movie streaming in audiovisual quality in a good acoustic, lighting, and interior design.

Psychology study of Built Environment Design: Approaching or Leaving?

Design factor: interior design, circulation, color and Ambient factor: Lighting and Soundscape create inviting mood

Psychology study of Built Environment Design: Approaching or Leaving?

In designing hospitality project ALTA Integra implements psychology study of Stimulus Organism Response Model (SOR) by Mehrabian and Russel 1974. The study said that external “STIMULUS” such as Design, Ambient and Social Factors, will influence “ORGANISM” or an emotional state that excites Pleasure, Arousal, and Dominance (PAD). This emotional state will ignite “RESPONSE” action to approach the place if the person sense pleasure, feels arouse, and finally decide to approach because of a dominant thought.

Mehrabian & Russel Stimuli, Arousal, Response (SOR) model

Design and Ambient factors in STIMULUS are Interior design, Color palette, Lighting design, and Soundscape design. Alta Integra integrates harmonious blending between those factors in designing an inviting VIP Karaoke Place.
