• Summary:"In the latest addition to the esteemed Pamphlet Architecture series, architects Christopher Meyer, Daniel Hemmendinger, and Shawna Meyer interrogate the concept of floating cities, a field of inquiry that is gaining increasing relevance and urgency with the impending reality of climate change. The authors explore notions of buoyancy and the amphibious through a typology based on human response and adaptation, rather than architectural and technological intervention. Through case studies of diverse communities and their relationship to changing sea levels, Buoyant Clarity offers both contemporary mediations and future proposals that contribute to architecture's newfound ecological responsibilities"-- Provided by publisher.
