Finally, Architectural Thinking in a Climate Emergency is a major new edited collection, with Professor Sofie Pelsmakers, that asks: what is the role of architecture and the architect in the Anthropocene? The design and construction of most buildings and urban environments today is rooted in an economic model that pursues infinite growth. The profession of architecture is embedded in an economic paradigm that favours individual gain over collective benefit. As a result, architecture contributes directly to environmental degradation and social injustice. Architects agree that the profession must change but we lack the tools and knowledge to undertake the transformations that are urgently needed. This book addresses that need by bringing together writers, researchers, educators, students and practitioners who work at the forefront of the transformation. Contributors come from across Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas. Many are leading voices, while others are emerging thinkers in their fields, introducing fresh perspectives from both academia and practice. Thanks to the institutional support of

There are clubs for everyone: from actors; plutocrats; aristocrats; and bishops to: sailors; soldiers; fishermen; and spies, as well as: journalists; jockeys; architects; and aesthetes. Andrew Jones opens the door to 46 of the most beautiful, interesting, and unusual of these clubs, presenting 300 years of architecture and design. From bohemian to bling, shabby to chic, classical and brutal, this is a celebration of variety and beauty, with newly-commissioned photographs by Laura Hodgson.
