Abstract: This special issue of Future Anterior not only proposes that energy and carbon’s effects for heritage buildings represent important design opportunities for retrofitting older, existing structures, but it also interrogates how fundamental principles underpinning adaptations for climate change should be challenged. Such primary directives encouraging architects to achieve net-zero carbon and/or net-zero energy tend to reinforce accepted ideals around aesthetic interpretations of conservation. Rather than focusing on the “pluriverse of adaptive practices” that address sustainable design in heritage buildings, this issue moves discourse in a radically different direction. Sidestepping scholarly literature on energy ... Read More

Abstract: Scene of Logging in Recent World, Qingding Shujing Tushuo, Imperially Commissioned Illustrated Edition of “the Classic Of History”—1904 (Qing Dynasty), Wuyingdian Imperial Press, annotated by author. Dayu is a mythological figure who led people to fight against floods.It is questionable whether carbon provides a meaningful lens to reflect on heritage, since the concept of carbon has mostly been confined to China’s economic and political roles on the global stage. Although carbon was not acculturated in the regions of southern China, it may be traced in its amorphous forms throughout vernacular settlements: trapped in a sweltering dome of stacked rocks where stones are calcinated, scattered in fertile soil amidst ...

Abstract: Location Map of Karachi (marked in black), in the southern province of Sindh, Pakistan. Political map by Government of Pakistan, annotation by Karachi Urban Lab.In today’s context of anthropogenic climate change, over 70 percent of cities worldwide have already been, or will soon be, impacted as global temperatures are expected to increase more than 2°C by 2040.1 Conventional climate change discourse has been dominated by evaluations of economic costs and benefits, with pertinent questions raised on the twofold global inequality between past and future generations, as well as developing and developed countries.2 Developed northern countries, responsible for approximately half of all emissions since the Industrial ...

Abstract: Arthur Cratchley, Port Kembla steelworks, 1960, P19/19986. From the collections of the Wollongong City Libraries and the Illawarra Historical Society.Histories of immigrant industrial labor provide a perspective and subject position to further rethink critical heritage toward developing theoretically the nascent field of critical carbon. An environmental moral imperative centered on decarbonization tends to be future-oriented and perhaps rightly dreaming of a regenerative and greening transformation of dirty industrial sites. Difficult histories can be overlooked in this forward reimagining of industrial sites, and environmental policies tend to marginalize, erase, and disavow postwar immigrant labor histories as ...

Abstract: Adaptive reuse, super-low embodied carbon, and net-zero energy retrofit of SDE1. West elevation features a deep veil of horizontal light shelves and gradient filigree panels to allow for daylighting, glare mitigation, and ventilation. Photo: Ong Chan Hao.On the National University of Singapore campus, the super-low carbon, net-zero adaptive reuse of two institutional, four-story buildings housing the Department of Architecture are known as SDE 1 and SDE 3. Their reinvention reconfigures the legacy of the 1970s S. J. van Embden master plan by creating a scaffold and pedagogical tool for design learning, teaching, and research for the twenty-first century. The architecture is founded on design excellence and ... Read More

Abstract: Dixon Street drawing—Elevational collage highlighting Kwong War Chong’s cultural significance. By Maddie Gallagher and John Suh.Contrary to public perception, Sydney’s population is composed mainly of immigrants: more than 35 percent of current Sydneysiders were born outside Australia. This diverse migrant majority has been increasing for at least five decades. Previously, Sydney was dominated by European migrants and, before that, British migrants for fifteen decades. Prior to the invasion, Sydney remained the place of indigenous culture for the last 47,000 years. The climate of Sydney is benignly coastal temperate. Since both climate and culture are changing, in what ways are they relevant to each other' Is it ... Read More

Abstract: Thank you. Our task is to think about the possible role of the humanities and qualitative social sciences in the context of the climate disaster.I teach the humanities. My entire intellectual efforts are focused on the distinction that I have learned, that even the qualitative social sciences must make some kind of truth claim, that is to say produce verifiable knowledge; whereas the humanities—non-analytic (qualitative) philosophy and literature—are about the practice of learning. The repeated practice of learning is what we see in the cultures that are based on mnemic languages, that is to say—languages that are written on the memory rather than on material things like paper. We generally call them oral ... Read More

Abstract: In an episode of the UK television series Travel Man, host Richard Ayoade and guest-host Stephen Merchant spend forty-eight hours in Dubrovnik, a city located on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. Several locations in Dubrovnik were used a few years earlier as set pieces for another TV series, namely, Game of Thrones (henceforth GoT), and an entire tourist industry soon spawned around these sites: walking tours, boat tours, merchandise shops, and even a museum. Ayoade notes that, according to the Institute of Economics in Zagreb, one quarter of all tourists in Dubrovnik at the time of filming in 2019 travel there because of GoT. Consequently, Ayoade and Merchant embark on one of the many “GoT tours” and are led to ... Read More
