Architecture, Climate, Ecological offers a rigorous and multidimensional inquiry into the evolving relationship between the built environment and the planetary systems that sustain it. Framed within the context of the Anthropocene, the book interrogates the conceptual and material limits of modern architectural practice and advances a comprehensive paradigm grounded in resilience, ecological integration, and adaptive design intelligence. Through a critical examination of contemporary challenges—including climate instability, resource depletion, and urban vulnerability—the authors articulate a theoretical framework that reconceptualizes architecture as a dynamic, responsive, and ethically situated practice. Key themes such as regenerative material cycles, living-building systems, biocentric design methodologies, and the socio-ecological dimensions of urban resilience are explored with analytical depth and interdisciplinary precision. Addressed to scholars, practitioners, and advanced students in architecture and environmental design, this volume positions itself as both a critique of prevailing paradigms and a forward-looking contribution to the discourse on ecological futures. Architecture, Climate, Ecological challenges readers to reconsider architecture’s agency within a transforming world and to envision built environments capable of fostering resilience, equity, and long-term planetary well-being.
