How architecture powered European energy politics in the postwar era and paved the way for today's dependency on coal, steel, and nuclear power.How architecture powered European energy politics in the postwar era and paved the way for today's dependency on coal, steel, and nuclear power.In this volume of the Critical Spatial Practice series, Dennis Pohl locates the origin of Europe's dependency on carbon and nuclear power in the postwar architectural designs and energy policies of the European Community. Since the 1950s, architects have proposed territorial, regional, and urban development plans that served the European political project. They collaborated with the European Coal and Steel Community in an effort to render the steel building industry as efficient as the car industry; they incorporated the ideas of infinite nuclear energy, as promoted by the European Atomic Energy Community, into their designs.This book demonstrates how architecture served the political economy of postwar Europe as a means of turning coal, steel, and radioactivity into tools of European governance. Architectural design enabled EU institutions to support social policies and worker housing within the coal and steel industry as well as to promote a new pan-European lifestyle based on nuclear energy. In other words, architecture powered Europe's larger infrastructural, economic, and cultural network. Pohl's work not only sheds light on how architecture has contributed to the carbonization of Europe, it also highlights the environmental issue, which challenges both architectural criticism and historiography in the era of the Anthropocene.Design by Zak GroupFeaturing artwork by Armin Linke Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The pressing challenges of our time mean that designers are facing new, less familiar areas of responsibility. They are required to negotiate their way through regulations, ecological commitment, building conventions and economic constraints.This Flanders Architectural Review N016 shows how both designers and clients recurrently adopt a caring attitude when engaging with these challenges. This responsibility manifests itself in careful approaches to the renovation of existing structures, ecological innovations that go beyond the norm, participatory processes for collective housing, and the recognition of diversity in both society and the field of architecture. Twenty-one projects, 11 essays and six photographers not only shed light on the human, financial, material and ecological aspects of the built environment, but also explore the degree to which the decision-making processes are democratic.With projects by &bogdan, aNNo, ATAMA, Atelier Kempe Thill, Baro Architectuur, Bovenbouw Architectuur, Bruno Spaas Architectuur, Callebaut Architecten, Caruso St John Architects, De Gouden Liniaal Architecten, De Smet Vermeulen architecten, Dierendonckblancke architecten, DDS+, ectv architecten Els Claessens Tania Vandenbussche, Havana architectuur, Karuur Architecten, Ludovic Devriendt, MADE architects, Mattias Deboutte, murmuur architecten, OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen, ono architectuur, Ouest Architecture, Philip Aguirre y Otegui, Raamwerk, Robbrecht en Daem architecten, Rotor, SumProject, Universal Design Studio, URA Yves Malysse Kiki Verbeeck, urbain architectencollectief, Zinneke.
