In addition, case studies tackle both individual theorists and common approaches to the topic. Aimed at the new student of architectural theory, if you are just beginning to tackle this...

Materiality is a recurring and key issue in architecture. This book explains how materials are "constructed," how they become substances of our culture. Metabolic Processes follows up on the relationship between natural materials and technology, science, and sensuality.

Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) made the concept of metabolic processes the key element of his theory. He referred to the fact that architectural forms originally resulting from a method of processing a material are used for other substances.

For the first time, the book investigates the subject from a...

London wurde wegen des Verkehrs Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts der Untergang im Pferdemist vorausgesagt. Zeitgenossische Losungsansatze dieser ersten Umweltprobleme griffen zu kurz. Dann tauchte der Verbrennungsmotor auf und verdrangte die Pferdefuhrwerke. Inzwischen befindet sich die Menschheit in einer weitaus kritischeren Situation: Im 21.

Die Autoren zeigen, dass wir heute jedoch auf bereits vorhandene Technologien zuruckgreifen konnten,...
