Summary:
This book highlights some of the historical sources of ecological approaches that are currently reshaping the architectural field, especially in the work of architects such as Aldo van Eyck, Alison and Peter Smithson, James Stirling and others.

By demonstrating the continuities, disruptions and transformations at stake, 'Habitat' deepens the ongoing conversation, while suggesting directions for future research.
