Excellent- More about Coping with Urban Climates: Comparative Perspectives on Architecture and Thermal Governance
The architecture of the 21st century must adapt to cope with the climate of cities, including issues such as urban heat and air pollution. This book highlights the importance of materiality, social practices, and thermal governance in creating sustainable urban climates.
Format: Hardback
Length: 240 pages
Publication date: 21 June 2022
Publisher: Birkhauser
While 20th-century architecture mastered the art of regulating the climate within buildings, the architecture of the 21st century must evolve to address the complex challenges posed by urban environments. The pressing issues of urban heat and air pollution must be integrated into the planning and design processes to create sustainable and livable cities. Drawing from empirical evidence gathered in Cairo, Chongqing, Geneva, and Santiago de Chile, this book emphasizes that the interplay of materiality, social practices, and climate policies collectively shape the fabric of contemporary urban climates. It seamlessly weaves together socio-cultural insights with meteorological data, pioneering the concept of thermal governance. By bridging architectural, technological, legal, and economic dimensions of climate control, this book offers a holistic approach to addressing the urgent needs of urban environments in the face of climate change.
