Book Launch! Sustainable Design for Uncertain Futures: Dialogues on Time-Based Architecture

In this talk Joshua Lee and Joseph Murray present their new book, Sustainable Design for Uncertain Futures: Dialogues on Time-Based Architecture. Their work introduces readers to 14 time-based design strategies through a series of dialogues between leading experts, including two of CR0WD’s founders, Jenni Minner and Felix Heisel. A total of 15 leading practitioners and researchers participated in the dialogues on topics that include adaptive reuse, the circular economy, preservation, repair and design for disassembly and reuse. Each dialogue offers key insights into how these strategies work in practice and where they might be used in combination. By presenting these strategies through dialogue, the editors demonstrate the collaborative thinking needed to address growing uncertainty in the built environment and provide a framework to consider the technical and management approaches that emerged.
