Trade Paperback. Condition: New. In this age of ever-increasing environmental awareness, the issue of sustainability is set to become the dominant factor in architectural design. At a time when, like most professions, architectural practice is increasingly governed by legal guidelines and requirements, competing policy demands require architects to aim for economic, social and environmental sustainability whilst also trying to effect social progress. Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-Machine Age asks whether these two ambitions can be reconciled.Featuring contributions from architects, journalists, academics and legal consultants, the book takes a balanced look at the subject, giving the full range of sometimes opposing views. Examining all the key issues, it considers why the industrial development of town and country is considered unsustainable rather than socially imperative, and whether the aim of raising the level, standard and performance of arhcitectural production conflicts with the promotion of sustainability.Over the last decade the profession and practice of architecture has changed rapidly. Sir Michael Latham's 'Constructing the team' and Sir John Egan's 'Rethinking Construction' attempted to turn the building industry from labour-intensive trade contracting the capital intensity of manufacturing. Paul Hyett, the current president of the Royal Institue of british architects, has a mandate to establish an environmental duty of care. Sustaining Architecture in the Anti-Machine Age considers what these initiatives mean for architects. BEAUTIFUL COPY!!.…

Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. There will be 8.3 billion human beings on Earth by 2030, and the more the better. We have the opportunity to create a world of expansive megacities - including one around old London. Doing so will advance the art, science and processes of manufacturing. But to deploy those abilities we must shrug off the dogma of sustainability that insists only small can be beautiful. Humanity has come a long way since the first modular mega-structure was built at Ur, on land that is now Iraq. There, four millennia ago, and by hand, the Sumerians built a mud-brick ziggurat to their Gods. Today, the green deities of Nature we have invented for ourselves are worshipped with humility. Eco-zealots argue against the mechanised megaforming of landscape and the modularised production of megastructures. The guest editors, Jonathan Schwinge and Ian Abley of the London based research organisation audacity, call for development on a bold scale. They argue that by rapidly super-sizing the built environment society is not made vulnerable to natural or man-made hazards, and that design innovation surpasses bio-mimicry. Designers can learn from materials scientists working at the smallest of scales, and from systems manufacturers with ambitions at the largest. This issue calls for creative thinking about typologies and topologies, and considers what that also means for Africa, China, and Russia. Megacities everywhere demand integration of global systems of transport, utilities and IT in gigantic structures, constantly upgraded, scraping both the sky and the ground, outward into the sea.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. By 2030, the global population is projected to reach 8.3 billion, presenting an opportunity to develop expansive megacities, including one around London. This evolution can enhance manufacturing's art, science, and processes, but it requires moving beyond the sustainability dogma that champions small-scale beauty. Humanity's journey began with the Sumerians, who built the first modular mega-structure at Ur, a mud-brick ziggurat, four millennia ago. Today, eco-enthusiasts resist the mechanized transformation of landscapes and the creation of megastructures. Guest editors Jonathan Schwinge and Ian Abley from the London-based research organization audacity advocate for bold development. They contend that rapidly expanding the built environment can bolster society against natural and man-made threats, and that design innovation can exceed bio-mimicry. Designers should draw inspiration from materials scientists and large-scale systems manufacturers. This issue encourages innovative thinking about typologies and topologies, with implications for regions like Africa, China, and Russia. The rise of megacities necessitates the integration of global transport, utilities, and IT systems within colossal structures, continually evolving and extending into the sea.…
