Krátky popis
A groundbreaking history of architecture told through the
relationship between buildings and energyThe story of architecture
is the story of humanity. The buildings we live in, from the
humblest pre-historic huts to today's skyscrapers, reveal our
priorities and ambitions, our family structures and power
structures. And to an extent that hasn't been explored until now,
architecture has been shaped in every era by our access to energy,
from fire to farming to fossil fuels.In this ground-breaking
history of world architecture, Barnabas Calder takes us on a
dazzling tour of some of the most astonishing buildings of the past
fifteen thousand years, from Uruk, via Ancient Rome and Victorian
Liverpool, to China's booming megacities. He reveals how every
building - from the Parthenon to the Great Mosque of Damascus to a
typical Georgian house - was influenced by the energy available to
its architects, and why this matters. Today architecture consumes
so much energy that 40% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions
come from the construction and running of buildings.If we are to
avoid catastrophic climate change then now, more than ever, we need
beautiful but also intelligent buildings, and to retrofit - not
demolish - those that remain. Both a celebration of human ingenuity
and a passionate call for greater sustainability, this is a history
of architecture for our times.
