Beyond Sustainable discusses the relationship between human-beings
and the constructed environments of habitation we create living in
the Anthropocene, an increasingly volatile and unpredictable
landscape of certain change. This volume accepts that human-beings
have reached a moment beyond climatological and ecological crisis.
It asks not how we resolve the crisis but, rather, how we can cope
with, or adapt to, the irreversible changes in the earth-system by
rethinking how we choose to inhabit the world-ecology. Through an
examination of numerous historical and contemporary projects of
architecture and art, as well as observations in philosophy,
ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, neurobiology and
psychology, this book reimagines architecture capable of
influencing and impacting who we are, how we live, what we feel and
even how we evolve. Beyond Sustainable provides students and
academics with a single comprehensive overview of this
architectural reconceptualization, which is grounded in an
ecologically inclusive and co-productive understanding of
architecture.
