This edited collection gathers contributions from a diverse range
of renowned scholars and professionals to uncover the unique
relationship between passive architectural systems and activism.
Focusing on the pioneering work of the influential American chemist
and inventor, Harold R. Hay (1909-2009), and the environmental
awareness events that took hold in the United States during the
1960s and 1970s, the book assembles essays which closely examine
Hay's contribution to architecture and the work of those who
directly and tangentially were affected by it. The book also offers
insights into the role of passive energy design today. Appealing to
researchers, architects and students interested in architecture and
design technology, Activism in Architecture explores the role of
passive environmental inventions as an active agent in shaping
socio-political debates.
