Toward Re-Entanglement

Meer over het boek

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) In recognition of the dire threats of climate collapse and mass extinction, the global initiative Bauhaus Earth convened a team of scientists, architects, spatial planners, and policy makers from around the world to author a manifesto. Toward Re-Entanglement is a call for radical action. It challenges all those with a role in the conception, production, operation, and governance of the building sector, to address the systemic ecological, climatic, and social impacts incurred by its activities. Twelve principles of re-entanglement guide the re-design of the entire life cycle of the urban the re-formation and re-materialization of the physical artifacts that comprise it, the reconfiguration of the socioeconomic structures that underpin it, and the re-engagement of the bioregions that might sustainably supply it. In this way, our unprecedented convergence of environmental and social crises offers us powerful opportunities for systemic change. Lead Philipp Misselwitz, Alan Organschi
