Reviews
"An impressively organized and presented study of seminal and deftly written scholarship, "Architecture as Measure" is a unique and unreservedly recommended addition to professional and academic library Sustainability & Green Design, Architectural Criticism, and Architecture Project Planning & Management collections and supplemental Architectural curriculum studies lists.", "Through models and drawings that are both hyper-realistic and disturbingly dreamlike, Turan and her San Francisco-based firm, NemeStudio, create displays of existing building types deformed, distorted to reveal their origins in extractive industries, or combined to construct narratives of the violence we are perpetuating on this planet.... Architects such as Turan are important not because of what they build, but because of how they practice. In other words, they are architects in the profoundest and most effective way possible." --Aaron Betsky, Architect Magazine

Synopsis
In light of the current political crisis around climate change, what can architecture possibly contribute towards a new planetary imaginary of our contemporary environment beyond environmentalism and technological determinism? Architecture as Measure is an elaboration on this question, and on the disciplinary and cultural potentials of such a provocation. It positions climate change as a cultural and political idea that requires a renewed architectural environmental imagination. The book takes on this task by presenting a set of unconventional collisions between architecture and climate change, which all extrapolate broader concerns of the city, environment, and geography through the lens of specific architectural questions such as form, representation and materiality. In that way, the book is an invitation to boost architecture's planetary effect by collapsing the centers and the peripheries of the discipline, by colliding its very outside with its very core interior., In light of the current political crisis around climate change, what can architecture possibly contribute towards a new planetary imaginary of our contemporary environment beyond environmentalism and technological determinism?Architecture as Measure is an elaboration on this question, and on the disciplinary and cultural potentials of such a provocation.

- e***o (895)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook arrived well-packaged and in fine condition. But a comment is in order about the tracking. Piss-poor! Labeled 'UPS', but delivered by USPS. The tracking says it's still on the way despite being delivered yesterday. Several "Delivery dates" were posted on their site, which came and went. The 'Contact information' said that calling them would yield nothing more than their site offered, which was nothing. So, pleased by the product and packaging, my only complaint being of the tracking.
