Alserkal Ecology Reader [electronic resource].

Civil Architecture 2020

Open access content

The Alserkal Ecology Reader is a compilation of three lectures held in 2018 and 2019 in relation to Civil Architecture’s summer residency at Alserkal Arts Foundation. The lectures are centered around architecture’s relationship to ecology, landscape and life in the Gulf. Civil Architecture invited interlocutors from the region and abroad to discuss larger trends in the discipline and their connection to the context of Dubai. “We Have Never Been Urban” invited Pierre Bélanger and Ahmed Makia to discuss the idea of land and our relationship to territory. “Wishful Tropics” featured MILLIØNS and Common Accounts for a discussion on the aspirational qualities of climate control, and forming architectural environments. “Verdant Sculpture” with Luis Callejas and Faysal Tabbarah was a discussion on the nature of objects in the landscape and the blurring of boundaries between the ecological and architectural. These three lectures form a summary of on-going issues in the discipline and are intended to be a loose primer for architects of the Gulf.
