Botanical Architecture

Plants, Buildings and Us

de Paul Dobraszczyk ...

When we look at trees, we see a form of natural architecture, and yet we have seemingly always exploited trees to make new buildings of our own. While a tree creates its own structure, we generally destroy other things to build, with increasingly disastrous consequences.Looking closely at how elements of plants – seeds, roots, trunks, branches, leaves, flowers and canopies – relate to buildings, ...

The Matter of Architecture

Geology, Buildings and Us

de Paul Dobraszczyk ...

Geology is the architecture of our planet and what we build has always been dependent on what the earth has already made. Yet in recent decades we, rather than the planet, have produced the geology of the future: millions of tonnes of concrete, plastic, brick, metal and other fabricated materials are quickly piling up to eventually become new strata. Can we recover a more equitable relationship to ... Leer más

Future Cities

Architecture and the Imagination

Today, cities are overshadowed by multiple threats: climate change, overpopulation, social division, and urban warfare all endanger our way of life in urban areas. The fundamental way in which we make sense of these uncertain futures is through the imagination. Architects, artists, filmmakers and fiction writers have long been inspired to imagine cities of the future, but their work tends to be ... Leer más

Animal Architecture

Beasts, Buildings and Us

de Paul Dobraszczyk ...

The spider spinning its web in a dark corner; wasps building a nest under a roof: there is hardly any part of the built environment that can’t be inhabited by nonhumans, and yet we are extremely selective as to which animals we allow in or keep out. This book considers many different animals, opening up new ways of thinking about architecture and the more-than-human. Looking closely at how animals ... Leer más

Something rich and strange

Edición de Paul Dobraszczyk, Sarah Butler ...

What is Manchester?

The Dead City

Urban Ruins and the Spectacle of Decay

de Paul Dobraszczyk ...

The Dead City unearths meanings from such depictions of ruination and decay, looking at representations of both thriving cities and ones which are struggling, abandoned or simply in transition. It reveals that ruination presents a complex opportunity to envision new futures for a city, whether that is by rewriting its past or throwing off old assumptions and proposing radical change. Seen in a ... Leer más

Global Undergrounds

Exploring Cities Within

Edición de Paul Dobraszczyk, Bradley L. Garrett, Carlos López Galvis ...

Over the last two centuries, the world’s cities have undergone dramatic vertical, above-ground transformations. But at the same time, they have sunk themselves into the ground, in the form of sprawling tendons of tunnels, caverns and bunkers – conduits for transport, utilities and communication or spaces of shelter and storage.

The book considers how issues of gender, ... Leer más
