Description
Renovating Carbon explores the complex relationship between architecture and carbon. Twelve essays present diverse perspectives on the topic, examining how buildings are transformed by architects to mitigate climate change. The renovation of two equatorial buildings serves as a catalyst for reflection, prompting questions about the values embedded in architectural education and practice. How can renovations address the challenges of rapidly urbanizing Asia? What role do material innovations play in shaping design? This book offers insights into the models of thought that have shaped architecture and presents potential solutions for sustainably transforming carbon in our warming world.
