Summary:
In this electrifying showcase of Max Dudler's power stations, Energy Buildings traces the public works constructions of a man who has mastered the architectural square. Credited as one of the formative minds behind the New Berlin, Dudler's residential work at Gendarmenmarkt, and his transformer substation at Lutzoplatz, reveal cubes that are based in a rational architectural evaluation of what is absolutely necessary. Four walls. No frills. As evidenced in the 22 plans included in Energy Buildings, Dudler's core strength is his conceptual backbone, where projects for Vattenfall Europe AG begin as drawings on a page. Beginning with his work for Bewag in the late 80s, the book crisply describes the rise of an architect of the new Germany, a place where an architectural idea is only as strong as the gracefulness of its execution.In this electrifying showcase of Max Dudler's power stations, Energy Buildings traces the public works constructions of a man who has mastered the architectural square.

Humankind?s search for more powerful sources of energy to sustain an urbanising existence has created an energy transition that, while hugely beneficial to human existence, is now being identified as a source of harm. Just as metabolic disease refers to energy-sourced medical problems, so too the planet, the authors propose, is showing increasing signs of metabolic distress.

Contemporary life is founded on oil - a cheap, accessible, and rich source of energy that has shaped cities and manufacturing economies at the same time that it has increased mobility, global trade, and environmental devastation. Despite oil’s essential role, full recognition of its social and cultural significance has only become a prominent feature of everyday debate(...)

Summary:
Contemporary life is founded on oil - a cheap, accessible, and rich source of energy that has shaped cities and manufacturing economies at the same time that it has increased mobility, global trade, and environmental devastation. Despite oil’s essential role, full recognition of its social and cultural significance has only become a prominent feature of everyday debate and discussion in the early twenty-first century. Presenting a multifaceted analysis of the cultural, social, and political claims and assumptions that guide how we think and talk about oil, Petrocultures maps the complex and often contradictory ways in which oil has influenced the public’s imagination around the world. This collection of essays shows that oil’s vast network of social and historical narratives and the processes that enable its extraction are what characterize its importance, and that its circulation through this immense web of relations forms worldwide experiences and expectations. Contributors’ essays investigate the discourses surrounding oil in contemporary culture while advancing and configuring new ways to discuss the cultural ecosystem that it has created. A window into the social role of oil, Petrocultures also contemplates what it would mean if human life were no longer deeply shaped by the consumption of fossil fuels.
