09-10-11-16-17-18/06/21 - Annual symposium "Architectural History + Climate Emergency"

Symposium "Architectural History + Climate Emergency" organisé par la Society of Architectural Historians of Great-Britain avec l’aide d’Architects Declare, ACAN, Heritage Declares et la Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).

"The Symposium places the nexus between architecture and energy centre stage in our understanding of the historic built environment, considering how both large-scale energy consumption and socio-political regimes of energy production force us to give greater consideration to architecture’s environmental impact through time."

OBJET

"By investigating the relationship between buildings and energy, in conjunction with other factors such as the building industry’s contribution to deforestation, eco-system destruction, and wide-spread pollution connected to primary material procurement, architectural history can reclaim its long-standing place as a central contributor to architectural debate and practice. Much more importantly, considering the history of architecture in this context can make a significant contribution to understanding and addressing the fossil fuel dependency and biodiversity crisis that threatens the continuation of life on Earth."
