Material history of planetary urbanization - Pilgrims by the World ocean

“Pilgrims

by the World ocean”

short summary of diploma thesis VÁCLAV ŠANA

Abstract: The diploma thesis deals with the final urbanization of the planet term from a materialistic point of view. The distribution of freshwater, energy consumption and especially agricultural food production are the basic factors which, together with logistics and demography, form fundamental drivers of material history.

The “Malthusian” fear of a situation where the world’s population is running out of resources accompanies contemporary rhetoric.

The aim of the work is to try to find and explore solutions to the material necessities of humanity and to design organizational principles, systems, urban and architectural solutions.
