Summary:
During the 1960s, as Western notions of endless progress and growth gave way to concerns over industrial pollution, resource depletion and ecological limits, attitudes toward the environment became social, political and ideological. Published to accompany the first expansive survey of the history of environmental thinking in architecture, ''Emerging ecologies: Architecture and the rise of environmentalism'' looks at the role architects have played in defining our understanding of ''nature'' and the ''environment,'' specifically during the rise of environmental discourse. The illustrated publication presents over 45 architectural contributions—from Eleanor Raymond and Mária Telkes’ groundbreaking work on solar houses to Buckminster Fuller’s world resource management system and the environmental symbolism of Emilio Ambasz—to explore the role designers played in both promoting ecological concerns and in outlining the very terms of this nascent field. Through an introductory essay by curator Carson Chan and brief texts on each of the featured projects, ''Emerging ecologies'' documents the proximity between ecology, design and statecraft, allowing readers to take stock of historic milestones as architecture confronts today’s climate emergencies.

It has been shown that spatial perception can be improved through practice. Opportunities to offer such practice are offered in this workbook, which was tested by nearly one thousand architecture students before publication, and emerged from an academic study funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, conducted jointly by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and the ETH Zurich. The book contains 75 exercises that work with architectural elements but can be mastered without prior knowledge, plus a section with solutions and explanatory texts by experts from theory and practice by M. Berkowitz, D. Dietz, B. Emo, A. Gerber, Chr. Hölscher, P. Holgate, St. Kurath, C. Leopold, D. Schulz, Th. & N. Shipley, E. Stern, D. Uttal.

Summary:
This book presents a set of buildings--27 dormitories, two school buildings, one gymnasium, one chapel, and one maintenance building--the parcel of land they stood on, the people that inhabited them, the temporal space they occupied, the agendas they housed, and the forces that shaped and reshaped them. The buildings established on the southern edge of the small Utah town of Brigham City, were built as a military hospital by the United States Department of War, repurposed as an off-reservation boarding school by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and reimagined as a New Urbanist townhome community by a New York-based developer. The photographs visually track the material traces of the boarding school era, what was emerging from the years the property lay fallow, what was to become as the buildings began their transition to a colorful townhome community, and what would emerge after the buildings were demolished.
