| Item Description: | "Under Modernity, the influence of the climate and environment on creative practice and cultural expression receded due to an assumption that technology had tamed the environment's perils....Modernity also brought about a general shift of cultural interest away from being in the world....This book is a survey of practices and projects that have moved away from these tropes of modern creative practice towards an inventiveness driven by an environmental reawakening of the imagination. Most importantly, this survey helps us recognize the vital themes and concerns emerging from this creative engagement. This book examines a broader shift towards climate as a primary motivator of design practice. A close study of exemplary projects informs the articulation of broader themes associated with contemporary climate imaginary practices."--Page 4. |
