在1960年代，當西方對於無止境進步與成長的觀念，逐漸被對工業污染、資源耗竭與生態極限的憂慮所取代時，人們對環境的態度開始具有社會、政治與意識形態的意涵。本書為建築史上首次大規模探討環境思維的展覽而出版，《新興生態學：建築與環保主義的崛起》檢視了建築師在定義我們對「自然」與「環境」的理解中所扮演的角色，特別是在環保論述興起之際。
這本圖文並茂的出版品收錄了超過45項建築貢獻——從埃莉諾·雷蒙德與瑪利亞·特爾克斯在太陽能住宅上的開創性工作，到巴克敏斯特·富勒的世界資源管理系統，以及埃米利奧·安巴斯的環境象徵主義——探討設計師在推廣生態關懷與勾勒這個新興領域基本術語方面所扮演的角色。透過策展人卡森·陳的導論文章以及每個精選專案的簡短介紹，《新興生態學》記錄了生態學、設計與治國術之間的密切關係，讓讀者得以在建築面對當今氣候緊急狀態之際，審視歷史上的重要里程碑。
I was worried this would be dry academic reading, but the way it ties 1960s architecture directly to the birth of environmentalism kept me hooked for hours. The focus on industrial pollution and resource depletion as design problems feels surprisingly urgent even today.
The essays on 1960s environmentalism gave me a whole new lens on how architects first wrestled with pollution and resource limits, and the case studies are jaw-droppingly relevant today. I ended up tabbing nearly every page, it's that dense with ideas.
I've been looking for a book that really digs into how architects started thinking about ecology, and this one covers the 1960s shift so thoroughly—the essays connect the rise of environmentalism to specific buildings and ideas I hadn't seen pulled together before.
