It's an immutable fact: human activity is driving the climate and biodiversity crises that now threaten all life. The damage we inflict on the planet undermines basic human rights, displaces millions, and intensifies structural racism, sexism, and segregation, with the greatest burden falling on the most vulnerable people and ecosystems. Architects must act. The design and construction of most buildings and urban environments today are rooted in an economic model that pursues infinite growth. Our profession is embedded in a paradigm that favours individual gain over collective benefit. We are rewarded for overlooking the interdependence between people and the natural world. Architecture contributes directly to environmental degradation and social injustice. Architects agree that the profession must change. But we lack the tools and knowledge to undertake the transformations that are urgently needed. This book aims to address that need through 15 chapters illustrating how we can act collectively to make a difference. Architectural Thinking in a Climate Emergency brings together writers, researchers, educators, students, and practitioners working at the forefront of this transformation. Contributors come from fourteen countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Oceania. Many are leading voices in their fields; others are emerging thinkers introducing fresh perspectives from both academia and practice. Above all, they each affirm the architect's responsibility to help transition toward carbon-neutral, sustainable practices that advance social and environmental justice"-- Provided by publisher. 606 $aArchitecture$xPhilosophy 606 $aArchitecture$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aArchitecture and climate 615 0$aArchitecture$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aArchitecture$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aArchitecture and climate. 676 $a720.1/03 702 $aBrown$b James Benedict$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPelsmakers$b Sofie$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911028728503321 996 $aArchitectural Thinking in a Climate Emergency$94443669 997 $aUNINA
