Architecture Is Climate is a new book that argues that contemporary architecture must be fundamentally rethought – not as the design of objects, but as a practice entangled with climate, politics, history and social justice.
The book derives from the research project Architecture after Architecture run at Central Saint Martins and TU Braunschweig by the research collective MOULD (Sarah Bovelett, Anthony Powis, Tatjana Schneider, Christina Serifi, Jeremy Till and Becca Voelcker).
Rejecting outdated paradigms of endless linear growth, technocratic fixes, and the separation of humans from nature, the book explores eight key themes (knowledge, economy, land, resources, infrastructure, work, policy and culture) to illustrate how climate breakdown reshapes every aspect of architectural thinking and doing.
Drawing on diverse voices and grounded examples from around the world, Architecture Is Climate offers a critique but also a vision of other possible architectures already in the making.
