Examining the complex social and material relationships between
architecture and ecology which constitute modern cultures, this
collection responds to the need to extend architectural thinking
about ecology beyond current design literatures. This book shows
how the 'habitats', 'natural milieus', 'places' or 'shelters' that
construct architectural ecologies are composed of complex and
dynamic material, spatial, social, political, economic and
ecological concerns. With contributions from a range of leading
international experts and academics in architecture, art,
anthropology, philosophy, feminist theory, law, medicine and
political science, this volume offers professionals and researchers
engaged in the social and cultural biodiversity of built
environments, new interdisciplinary perspectives on the relational
and architectural ecologies which are required for dealing with the
complex issues of sustainable human habitation and environmental
action. The book provides: 16 essays, including two visual essays,
by leading international experts and academics from the UK, US,
Australia, New Zealand and Europe; including Rosi Braidotti,
Lorraine Code, Verena Andermatt Conley and Elizabeth Grosz A clear
structure: divided into 5 parts addressing bio-political ecologies

economics, land and consumption; biological and medical
architectural ecologies; relational ecological practices and
architectures An exploration of the relations between human and
political life An examination of issues such as climate change,
