Critical Environmentalism

An Epistemic Framework for Architecture and Urban Development

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Critical Environmentalism (CE) explores corresponding epistemological frameworks across wide- ranging socio-environmental dynamics and their relations with architectural endeavors, primarily within urban development as comprising the greatest number of intersections between human constructions and the greater environmental domain. CE draws together environmental issues emerging across theoretical stances and fosters critical approaches to knowledge integration, amalgamating multiple stakeholder perspectives within an operational goal of co-creative communal development and betterment of the human condition in relation to environmental concerns. Situating the environment as an interconnecting catalyst between divergent points-of- view, CE promotes multi-methodological, co-enabling frameworks that foster increased participatory dynamics, communal vitality, and productive interchanges that cultivate an overall quality of knowing and well-being within the intricacies of the greater domain. As such, it engages broader definitions for architecture, significantly embodied and epistemologically co-substantiating within a shared, socio-environmental life-place.
