Trade Paperback. Zustand: 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!!.…

Softcover. Zustand: 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. …

See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Because most of human life is conducted in buildings, everyone has an opinion about the construction industry. In recent years the housing market alone has ensured that every homeowner has become a Do It Yourself expert as well as a venture capitalist, well acquainted at some level with the 'backwardness" that is the subject of this book, Nonetheless, despite this progressive consumerising of the issues discussed in the following pages, when it comes to answering the central question posed by the book's title we must rely on our expert authors. For as the reader will soon discover, it is a mistake to take the broad assumption of backwardness at face value when there are other questions as yet unasked that bear on the discourse of everyone concerned with building. Questions that give pause to the entrepreneurial developer and the construction professional at the top, even as they touch the lowliest sub-contractor and site oper-ative at the bottom. Questions so secret that.…
