Publisher: New York, NY : Routledge, ©2021Copyright date: ©2021Description: 267 p: illustrations (some color), maps (chiefly color) ; 26 cm.Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780367247461; 0367247461; 9780367247454; 0367247453.Subject(s): Sustainable architecture | Waste products as building materialsGenre/Form: Print books.Summary: "Global material crises are imminent. In the very near future, recycling will no longer be a choice made by those concerned about the environment, but a necessity for all. This means a paradigm shift in domestic behavior, manufacturing, construction, and design is inevitable. The Architecture of Waste provides a hopeful outlook through examining current recycling practices, rethinking initial manufacturing techniques, and proposing design solutions for second lives of material objects. The book touches on a variety of inescapable issues beyond our global waste crisis including cultural psyches, politics, economics, manufacturing, marketing, and material science. A series of crucial perspectives from experts cover these topics and frame the research by providing a past, present, and future look at how we got here and where we go next: the historical, the material, and the design. Twelve design proposals look beyond the simple application of recycled and waste materials in architecture-an admirable endeavor but one that does not engage the urgent reality of a circular economy-by aiming to transform familiar, yet flawed, material objects into closed-loop resources. Complete with 300 color images and written for both professionals and students, The Architecture of Waste is a necessary reference for rethinking the traditional role of the architect and challenging the discipline to address urgent material issues within the larger design process"--| Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
