Abstract

Modern architecture is inseparably linked with the Industrial Revolution. Industrially manufactured materials such as iron, steel, reinforced concrete, glass, asbestos, and later also plastics, have helped to make architecture modern. The Industrial Revolution also set planetary warming in motion. Thus, it is not far-fetched to claim that there are also correlations between modern architecture and planetary warming. This book is a rough sketch of a proposed history of modern architecture since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. It aims to break away from the established neural networks of the profession’s collective memory of how modern architecture’s history has unfolded, and offers the beginning of a rewiring: by introducing new actors, and highlighting ideas and projects that deal with climate and environment, while relegating some of the usual stars of modernism and postmodernism to the background.

Abstract

Reuse to Reduce is a plea by Popma ter Steege Architecten (PTSA) to embrace the circular transition as a chance for a more meaningful architecture. An architecture that employs the necessary reuse of building materials to rethink our needs, way of building and aesthetics. It is a plea for design shaped by planetary boundaries and the use of a carbon budget as a tool for this. It wants to help shift the discourse on circularity towards design and away from technocracy.

Abstract

The history of climate change and the history of architecture are connected in many ways. This book intertwines climate action and architectural design through time. It explores architectural experimentation in the past, depicts the present moment of transition and offers hopeful glimpses of the future. Its About Time reveals time as a crucial but overlooked aspect in designing sustainable futures. Bridging past, present and future, the book presents historical and contemporary projects such as solar houses, autonomous structures and earth buildings, along with over 45 key moments in environmental awareness history. Among them the first Earth Day, the UN conference in Stockholm, Eco-science fiction movies and the Chernobyl disaster, but also the Paris Agreements and the European Green Deal. Serving as both a handbook and a source of inspiration, this publication targets architects, educators, students and everyone involved in shaping better futures. Urgent in its message, it claims that the momentum to realize change has arrived, and that the field of architecture can play an important role in the transitions ahead.
