Beyond the West: New Global Architecture
Descrizione
Pubblicato da Gestalten, Beyond the West: New Global Architecture fornisce una panoramica fresca ed esauriente sulla nuova architettura globale in diversi angoli di Asia, Africa ed America. Affascinanti fotografie ed interessanti articoli presentano solusioni architettoniche creative che prendono in considerazione i bisogni sia della popolazione locale che dell'ambiente.
In the last decades Western architecture has largely dominated the discourse and the built environment worldwide. Recently architecture firms from non-Western countries have been establishing local and global recognition for themselves. Practices all over the world face challenges against a backdrop of rapidly growing cities, ecological demands, changing societies and climate, and emerging economies. Local architects often find strikingly different solutions to local requirements, including sustainability, transportation, migration, construction materials, and traditions.
In Mexico, architects work closely with indigenous communities to create modular social housing that can be assembled in one week. In Namibia, a lodge in a wildlife conservancy is designed to echo a local bird’s nest, while in Vietnam, a library and public space have created a micro-ecosystem to house fish and grow food.
Beyond the West journeys across Asia, Africa, and the Americas to understand how local architects respond to a changing world, and focuses its wide lens on inspiring and truly global architecture.
