In contrast to the wealth of literature exploring what ecology does to architecture, this book turns the perspective around - and opens a critical debate. Bringing together researchers and practitioners, it examines how those shaping the built environment - architects, landscape designers, engineers, and others - actively influence society’s expectations around climate action, resource depletion, and biodiversity loss. What Architecture Does to Ecology argues that these practices and discourses not only shape the built world, but are also shaped by it. Architecture is presented as a testing ground - where techniques, aesthetics, and ethics are developed to guide collective action in an uncertain future. Edited by Valéry Didelon, whose writing focuses on the interdependence of formal, technical, and social dimensions in architectural practice, the book offers a critical framework and a tripartite structure exploring past, present, and future intersections of architecture and ecology.
