Climax Change!: How Architecture Must Transform in the Age of Ecological Emergency

This book is a mesh of how climate change, environmental emergency, and architecture mesh together. It takes a look at how these three things will come together, must come together, to innovate for the future—not only in terms of style, but also by way of utility, sustainability, and opportunity. It takes a look at the role of construction in its contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, and how this intersects with a changing future. Through the ten essays in this book, readers will gain insight to debates going on in the field of architecture and how thinking and practice are shifting. Inside are ideas and analyses of the past, present, and future to come in the intersection of a changing world and the architecture society develops.
