Bøger af Peder Anker

By exploring key moments of inspiration between designers and ecologists from the Bauhaus projects of the interwar period to the eco-arks of the 1980s, Peder Anker traces the historical intersection of architecture and ecological science and assesses how both remain intertwined philosophically and pragmatically in the field of ecological design.

From 1895 to the founding of the United Nations in 1945, the promising new science of ecology flourished in the British Empire. Anker asks why ecology expanded so rapidly and how a handful of influential scientists and politicians established a tripartite ecology of nature, knowledge, and society.
