Have architects responded to the climate crisis too slowly?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDescribing a political ecology of architecture, Peter Raisbeck\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003edraws on architectural history, theory and practice, and the climate imaginaries of architects themselves. This exploration indicates how architects have viewed the climate emergency and positions architecture alongside the politics of climate and development studies. Raisbeck questions to what degree the traditional agency of architects leads to a political authority isolated from nature, human-environment systems and the nonhuman ecological subjects rapidly approaching tipping points.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe fluidity of the climate emergency itself and its unfolding relationship to architectural knowledge suggests that new approaches, agencies and subjectivities are urgently required. As architects struggle to respond to the climate emergency, this book is an important and timely contribution to sustainability, climate and development debates. \u003cem\u003eArchitects, Sustainability and the Climate Emergency: A Political Ecology\u003c\/em\u003e is a necessary provocation of a critical topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Raisbeck\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Associate Professor of Architectural Practice at the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne, where he teaches Architectural Practice, Design Activism and Contemporary Architectural Archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 16, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47457117602045,"sku":"9781803822921","price":186.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/lw1CmvkWNx9781803822921.webp?v=1777234307","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/architects-sustainability-and-the-climate-emergency-a-political-ecology-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
