Coping with Urban Climates

Comparative Perspectives on Architecture and Thermal Governance

About this book

Hatte die Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts die Kontrolle des GebĂ€udeklima zur Hauptaufgabe erklĂ€rt, so muss die Architektur im 21. Jahrhundert den Umgang mit dem Stadtklima lernen. StĂ€dtische Hitze und Luftverschmutzung gilt es in die Planung und Gestaltung einzubeziehen. Basierend auf empirischen Erkenntnissen aus Kairo, Chongqing, Genf und Santiago de Chile verdeutlicht das Buch, dass MaterialitĂ€t und soziale Praktiken, verknĂŒpft mit Raumbeheizung, SiedlungsbegrĂŒnung, Straßenausrichtung oder Klimapolitik, das Gewebe zeitgenössischer Stadtklimata bilden.

Die Publikation verbindet soziokulturelle und meteorologische Daten. Sie plĂ€diert fĂŒr eine neue Art der "Thermal Governance", die die Wechselwirkung von klimatischen und sozioökonomischen PhĂ€nomenen in zeitgenössischen StĂ€dten berĂŒcksichtigt.
