Description

The evolution of contemporary environmental architecture has outstripped simple labels. A deeper pattern is emerging where the most innovative buildings are a response to place. They resolve the complex intertwining of the site, people, and environment, providing a provocative observation of the future of architecture.

By starting with the site, these projects maximise the natural and cultural resources available and are humancentric. Hyperlocalization of Architecture explores firsthand how Spain wraps commercial buildings, Japan condenses micro homes, and Australia unfolds aggressive design solutions in a climate of extremes. Germany, United States, Denmark, and Mexico are also featured.

Thirty selected projects provide the antidote to the legacy of the modernist movement of generic, technology-driven built environments. Illuminating and often surprising conversations with renowned architects on their work reveal the process and promise of hyperlocalised design, which folds bold visions into low impact and unexpected buildings.

Their contemporary wisdom of site-responsive design offers an unprecedented insight into architecture's new place in a changing climate.
