Designing in Times of Crisis offers insights, visions, and strategies for architects and urban designers to question and respond to the crises and challenges of the contemporary anthropocentric world. The book highlights the urgency of addressing global crises and encourages architects and urban designers to consider new approaches related to gender equity, city ethics, and fundamental human rights. It promotes the adoption of sustainable practices that heed the social, economic, and environmental impacts of their work, particularly focusing on Portuguese and Brazilian contexts.
The book fosters new thinking and practices to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities facing contemporary architecture and urban design. It investigates how these disciplines can adapt to the fluidity of the digital age, respond to climate change, and embrace social justice, all while maintaining a commitment to innovation and sustainability. The book is divided into two parts: “Envisioning” and “Applying”. The first explores various urban and architectural proposals triggered by climate change and contemporary social issues. The second focuses on different experimentations in architectural and urban design, building techniques, dwelling, and teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as citizenship formation.
This timely research is relevant for students, researchers, and practitioners interested in architecture, urban planning, and sustainable design.
