- This course will provide a framework for understanding construction ecology architecture: the energetics and material/carbon cycling of building as a terrestrial process.
- The course, though, will present this framework through a survey of buildings with premodern, modern, and nonmodern examples.
- The twenty-first century demands a far more architecturally and ecologically ambitious paradigm.
- Other forms and formations of architecture are possible—and often more evident—throughout the nonmodern world.
- This explication of construction ecology establishes the course’s key question: what should constitute an architectural agenda for energy, material, and form in this century?
