Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The fourth volume in the popular series Essays on the Political Economy of Urban Form ; Reform! argues that sometimes the most effective path to meaningful change is to work within existing institutions and slowly ; surely ; push for it. This is all the more relevant for architecture ; which by definition is entrenched in larger social ; economic ; and political contexts. Architecture's captivity to external interests should not be seen as a weakness ; but rather as a unique opportunity to change things up.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The third volume in the Essays on the Political Economy of Urban Form series, Empower! addresses contemporary power relations and their effects on urban and natural landscapes in the age of the Anthropocene, a nascent geological epoch defined by human activity. In order to better grasp the role of architecture and planning today, the publication explores urban transformations through the added lens of political ecology. Understanding the political, economic, and social factors of humanity's profound effects on the biosphere not only illuminates the interests underpinning environmental change, but also points to more sustainable ways of securing the great amount of resources that rapid urbanization cannot be sustained without.Edited by Marc Angélil and Rainer Hehl, the book explores geopolitics in the Amazon, infrastructural subtraction in Ecuador, circulatory urbanism in Mumbai, and urban development on Brazil's frontier. With contributions by Paulo Tavares (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador), Keller Easterling (Yale University, New Haven), Matias Echanove and Rahul Srivastava (Institute for Urbanology, Mumbai/Goa) and Rainer Hehl (ETH Zurich, TU Berlin).

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Sustainability's greatest obstacle is financial. Investors and developers blame noncompliance with sustainability standards on the supposedly higher costs and lower profits of sustainable construction. But with rapid urbanization, a sluggish economy, and a worsening climate crisis, we urgently need more sustainable construction practices and buildings. The Economy of Sustainable Construction seeks to dispel the myth that sustainability cannot be profitable, evaluate current architectural practices and models, and introduce materials and methods to maximize the environmental, social, and economic performance of buildings. Essays, reports, and case studies examine the relationship between commercial and sustainable values and explore the paths that construction will take in the twenty-first century.With contributions by Shlomo Angel, Marc Angélil, Alejandro Aravena, Uday Athavankar, Pierre Bélanger, Gail S.
