Architecture after Architecture: spatial practice in the face of the climate emergency

“建筑后的建筑”调查了建筑专业和建筑环境领域的其他从业者在面对气候紧急情况时可能采取的行动。应对气候紧急情况需要对我们的经济、行为和社会结构进行系统性变革-所有这些都对我们建设环境的方法产生深远影响。大多数关于建筑和环境的研究都集中在技术和材料的反应上，主要与碳减排有关，本项目着眼于气候紧急情况的文化和经济背景，以及这些对空间实践的影响（一个指定建筑和自然环境生产中多种操作方式的术语）。它特别探讨了重新考虑增长假设的迫切需要，传统经济学的基础是什么现代建筑项目的标志和基础。该项目的目的是调查在气候紧急情况引起的需求挑战了这些原则之后，建筑会发生什么。“建筑后的建筑”项目由一位建筑师领导。由建筑师和学者组成的英德团队，总部设在中央圣马丁（伦敦艺术大学）和布伦瑞克工业大学，与经济学家、社会学家、设计师、艺术家、作家和记者进行国际合作，共同想象空间实践的未来。它从围绕气候紧急情况的文化，经济和政治话语开始，因为它们与空间实践有关。它还将从当代空间实践中收集证据，分析可能与应对气候变化相关的方法。由于气候对更广泛的社会背景产生影响，该项目还将探索非空间条件，例如各种版本的绿色新政（GND）中概述的条件。该项目的最后阶段采用这些分析，并预测未来的场景，其中放置了新形式的空间实践。它提出了以下问题：气候紧急情况引起的系统性变化对空间有何影响？建筑师和空间代理人在这些空间条件的构想和协同设计中可以发挥什么作用？该项目的主要目标是在气候紧急情况下为新形式的空间做法制定设想方案。这些将有广泛的相关性，建筑师和其他专业人员（规划师，地理学家，决策者）在空间生产，建成，自然和社会工作。它将通过采用创新的研究方法来实现这一目标，包括通过与多学科团体举办讲习班。它还将建立一个开放访问的数据库，其中包含100个国际案例，说明从业人员如何在面对气候紧急情况时使用各种方法。

'Architecture after Architecture' investigates the way in which the architectural profession, and other practitioners working in the field of the built environment, might operate in the face of the climate emergency. Living with climate emergency demands systemic change to our economies, behaviours and social structures - all of which have profound implications for approaches to our built environment. Where most research concerning architecture and the environment concentrates on technical and material responses, mainly relating to carbon reduction, this project looks at the cultural and economic contexts of the climate emergency, and the implications these have for spatial practice (a term that designates multiple ways of operating in the production of the built and natural environment). It investigates in particular the urgent need to reconsider assumptions of growth, extraction and progress on which orthodox economics is based - and which the modern project of architecture both signalled and was founded on. The aim of the project is to investigate what happens to architecture after some of those principles are challenged by the demands arising from the climate emergency.The 'Architecture after Architecture' project is led by a UK-German team of architects and academics based in Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts London) and the Technische Universität Braunschweig, collaborating internationally with economists, sociologists, designers, artists, writers and journalists to imagine the future of spatial practices. It starts with cultural, economic and political discourses around the climate emergency as they relate to spatial practice. It will also gather evidence from contemporary spatial practice to analyse approaches that might be relevant to facing it. Because climate impacts on wider societal contexts, the project will also explore non-spatial conditions, such as those outlined in the various versions of the Green New Deal (GND). The final stage of the project takes these analyses, and projects future scenarios into which new forms of spatial practice are placed. It asks the questions: What are the spatial implications of the systemic changes arising from the climate emergency, and what role may architects and spatial agents play in the envisioning and co-design of these spatial conditions?The primary objective of the project is to develop scenarios for new forms of spatial practice in the context of the climate emergency. These will have broad relevance to architects and other professionals (planners, geographers, policy makers) working in spatial production, built, natural and social. It will achieve this through employing innovative methods of research, including through scenario-building workshops with multi-disciplinary groups. It will also build an open-access database of 100 international examples of how practitioners are using various approaches in the face of the climate emergency.
