Brook Muller's book "Blue Architecture" is a guide to water-focused and climate-resilient architectural and urban design. It advocates for a "hydro-logical" philosophy that conceptualizes interactions between existing waterways and the spaces they intend to develop, creating aesthetic, spatial, and experiential opportunities while improving watersheds and delivering functionality and beauty for diverse communities.

A comprehensive guide to water-focused and climate-resilient architectural and urban design, this book delves into the pressing environmental challenges associated with the legacy of the architectural machine. Renowned architect Le Corbusier once remarked, "A house is a machine for living in," highlighting the need for a transformative approach to urban design.
Brook Muller presents an alternative vision: water-centric urban design that promotes sustainability, equity, and architectural creativity. Drawing inspiration from the vernacular, such as the levadas of Madeira Island and the diverse landscapes of the American West, Muller articulates a "hydro-logical" philosophy that guides architects and planners in conceptualizing interactions between existing waterways and the spaces they intend to develop.
From these interactions emerge aesthetic, spatial, and experiential opportunities that redefine the way we perceive and experience our designed world. Muller goes beyond mere ecological considerations, advocating for genuinely climate-adapted urban landscapes where buildings serve as ecological infrastructure that enhances watersheds while delivering functionality and beauty for diverse communities.
Packed with rich images and practical examples, Blue Architecture offers a transformative perspective on urban design and inspires architects and planners to embrace water as a central element in creating sustainable, resilient, and beautiful cities.
