Land Air Sea - Architecture and Environment in the Early Modern Era

Land Air Sea: Architecture and Environment in the Early Modern Era posits that the long Renaissance and eighteenth century are vital for understanding how ideological concerns, present in current debates on climate change and sustainability, were already developed in earlier centuries. Astronomy, fortifications, naval vessels, ports, and even nails played a significant role in shaping the built environment of early modern historical figures. This book transforms our modernist understanding of precisely what buildings are and how they are constituted. Traversing three physical and intellectual domains, this book surveys case studies from land, air, and sea in order to understand how architecture was formulated in relation to emergent technologies, indigenous cultural beliefs, natural philosophy, and political statecraft.
