Summary:

"In light of the current political crisis around climate change, what can architecture possibly contribute towards a new planetary imaginary of our contemporary environment, beyond environmentalism and technological determinism? Architecture as measure is an elaboration on the disciplinary and cultural potentials of such a provocation. It positions climate change as a cultural and political idea that requires a renewed architectural environmental imagination"--Back cover
