Architecture of Change: Sustainability and Humanity in the Built Environment (2010 Edition): Sustainability and Humanity in the Built Environment. Interviews with Peter Sloterdijk and Chris Luebeman
The architecture of change is more relevant than ever: a political paradigm shift has taken place in the USA. The World Climate Conference will be held in Denmark at the end of 2009. Sustainability and environmental compatibility as key elements of groundbreaking architecture and visionary urban planning are firmly established in people's consciousness. They not only dominate theoretical discourse, but are also used in architectural practice around the world. Architecture of Change 2 presents 40 outstanding current architectural, social and research projects by renowned international architects, from Rem Koolhaas and Renzo Piano to initiatives such as Brad Pitt's Make-it-right project in New Orleans and Estudio Teddy Cruz's Political Equator. These projects are characterized by the combination of creativity, scientific knowledge, technological innovation, social commitment and social responsibility and show a new architecture that is as sustainable and innovative as it is aesthetically outstanding. As an authoritative compendium, Architecture of Change brings together the most important current projects of sustainable architecture and visionary urban planning.
