Beskrivning
Land Air Sea: Architecture and Environment in the Early Modern Era positions the long Renaissance and eighteenth century as being vital for understanding how many of the concerns present in contemporary debates on climate change and sustainability originated in earlier centuries. Traversing three physical and intellectual domains, Land Air Sea consists of case studies examining how questions of environmentalism were formulated in early modern architecture and the built environment. Addressing emergent technologies, indigenous cultural beliefs, natural philosophy, and political statecraft, this book aims to recast our modernist conceptions of what buildings are by uncovering early modern epistemologies that redefined human impact on the habitable world.

Recensioner i media

“[Land Air Sea] moves past well-known Renaissance theories regarding the relationship between buildings, planning and the environment, turning the discussion towards environmental history and ways of managing climate change. The book indeed brings to light how such efforts started well before the twentieth century. It underlines that more recent climatic designs actually originated in the period that covers the late medieval to the eighteenth century, and that agrarian premodern societies, far from being oblivious to environmental consciousness, were concerned with the management of climate change."Marina Inì (University of Cambridge), International Journal of Maritime HistoryDOI: 10.1177/08438714251408458
