Paperback. Zustand: Fair. The tropical region covers a significant proportion of the globe, and yet its architecture receives relatively little outside comment or exposure. Dispersed widely throughout the world, the region incorporates areas as far flung as the Caribbean islands, India, South-East Asia, and large parts of Australia, Africa and South and Central America. Despite their great cultural diversity, these areas share both climatic and ecological factors, as well as a postcolonial condition and the pressures of modernisation in the world of globalisation. Architects reactions to the tropical context are as varied as the region is diverse. Tropical Architecture brings together architects and critics from throughout the tropical region, examining the implications of the opposing forces of tradition and innovation and the struggle between global and local order. Among the issues covered are sustainability, bio and cultural diversity, microclimatic control and technology and multidisciplinary design. The argument centres on Critical Regionalism. This is not a style but rather an approach to architecture that asks for design to be conceived in response to the needs and opportunities of a specific region although it is not inherently opposed to global potentials. The theoretical debate is backed up by case studies of a range of projects, from small scale designs using minimal technology to super sophisticated, high tech solutions, and from schemes that look to environmental comfort to ones concerned with issues of symbolism and memory. It is out of this multiplicity of approaches that the general global lesson of Critical Regionalism as applied to tropical architecture is to be found. Copyright © Wiley-Academy.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the first comprehensive look at the human rights dimensions of the work of the only body within the United Nations system capable of compelling action by its member states.
