Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-Machine Age

Zusatztext "..every self-professed environmentally conscious architect must read it.." (Building Design! 8 March 2002) Informationen zum Autor Ian Abley, commercial site architect and Director of audacity.org (a research company of industry professionals determined to question assumptions and limitations in British construction, with the aim of advancing development practice to make their own lives easier). James Heartfield, journalist, editor & TV producer. Klappentext Dieser Band erörtert verschiedene Theorien und Standpunkte führender Architekten zu einem topaktuellen Thema, nämlich der Beziehung zwischen moderner Architektur und Umweltverträglichkeit. Der offenkundige Zusammenhang zwischen massiver industrieller und privater Bautätigkeit und die daraus resultierende Zerstörung unserer immer zerbrechlicher werdenden Umwelt hat sich unmittelbar auf die Arbeitsweise von Architekten ausgewirkt. Heute müssen Architekten ökologische Aspekte als die wohl wichtigsten Faktoren beim Entwurf eines Gebäudes berücksichtigen. Es gibt zwar eine Reihe von Definitionen ökologischer und umweltverträglicher Bauweise, doch ihre Umsetzung in die Praxis ist häufig schwierig. "Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-Machine Age" bietet einen praxisorientierten Ansatz zu dieser äußerst komplexen Thematik und versucht, die notwendigen radikalen Veränderungen in der Architektur aufzuzeigen. Mit Beiträgen von führenden Architekten, Fachjournalisten, Akademikern und Beratern. Zusammenfassung In this age of ever--increasing environmental awareness, the issue of sustainability is set to become the dominant factor in architectural design.
