Abstract: Although "'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" has served as a catchy public education tool for American environmental activists in the recent past, adaptation of the built environment to the challenges of climate change has deeper, broader roots. Even recent efforts to reduce new construction, reuse existing building stock, and recycle materials follow decades of considering the environmental stressors and material metabolism of the built environment. As conceptualized and practiced globally in accordance with diverse disciplines, politics, cultures, and resources, "retrofit" registers historical and contemporary responsiveness to unsustainable building conventions and endangered built environments. "Retrofit," however, can ... Read More

Abstract: Frédéric Druot, Anne Lacaton, and Jean-Philippe Vassal, Tour Bois-le-Prêtre, Paris. © Fabio Lepratto.This article aims to debate the problem of preservation for postwar mass-housing complexes, particularly in light of their urban decay.1 The phenomenon of urban decay in contemporary cities is related to mass housing in multiple ways. The physical and social decline of this residential model has been internationally debated since the last fifty years by a vast scientific literature and this topic is still central worldwide. Indeed, mass housing represents a consistent part of the modern global housing stock and it is a model still under experimentation in booming and crowded cities of East Asian ... Read More

It is cited as the first major work of Postmodern Classicism, which came to define the decade's departure from the conventions and convictions of the Modern Movement that ... Read More

Abstract: View of Unilever House, 2021. Photo: Author.In July 1931, The Times newspaper reported on the completion of Unilever House in London and admired it as "The Monument of Commerce."1 The building's monumentality is manifest through its prominent presence on the Victoria Embankment, its scale (34,000 square feet of floor space), as well as its modern design and fittings. Unilever House's construction was also tied to the historical merger between the British soapmaker Lever Brothers and the Dutch company Margarine Union in 1929.2 Building upon the notion that Unilever House can be considered both as a monument and a headquarter space for multinational corporations, this article examines its two large-scale retrofitting ...

Abstract: View of gasoline pumps, product displays, attendant, and entry to Esso gas station store, with interior visible through window wall designed by Mies van der Rohe. Montréal, Quebec, Canada, 1969.Here, as in our other rituals, modernity's carbon culture is materialized—the body acclimated to the surfeit of coal's heat, conditioned to the touch of congealed oil and natural gas, and joined to a subterranean INFRASTRUCTURE of carbon that delivers these sensations to the skin, ear, and eye.Every land is unique, whence the need to "recycle", to scrape clean once more (if possible with the greatest care) the ancient text where men have written across the irreplaceable surface of the soil, in order to make it available ...

Abstract: The following conversation was recorded over Zoom on February 18, 2021, bringing together most of the contributors to this issue of Future Anterior.I'm so glad that all of you were able to spend this time with us today. One of the challenging things about having a conversation across geographies is finding a time zone and slot that can somewhat work for everybody. So I appreciate everyone taking time to join us.And I want to also acknowledge the fact that there are some contributors to this journal who were not able to join us, and so I don't want to present this conversation as comprehensive of all the voices that are even just a part of this journal, let alone all the many voices that are part of this ...

Abstract: It has been argued that urban retrofitting for decarbonization may paradoxically have a role in propagating a global repair paradigm, whose constant devaluation of the built environment better serves capitalist models of redevelopment than sustainability.1 Sourcing new materials through mining and harvesting to meet retrofit standards of the West can also be related to the destruction of natural and cultural heritage in the global South. To be meaningful, concepts of sustainability and related goals must address such contradictions and gaps.2 In 2015 and 2017, two consecutive volumes of the DeGruyter–Springer Heritage Studies series were dedicated to linking perceptions of sustainability in Europe and well beyond. ...

Abstract: June Williamson and Ellen Dunham-Jones have been advocates for reimagining suburbia at least since the 2009 publication of their first co-authored book, Retrofitting Suburbia. That book quickly became a standard in the field of urban design because it so clearly addressed a glaring need. It documented how existing suburban form could be made more urban, more sustainable, and more vital. Retrofitting Suburbia enjoyed a revision in 2011, and the book presently under review, Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia, represents a logical continuation of those earlier works. As Williamson and Dunham-Jones indicate in their introduction, it is meant to be a sequel, not a revision. At this point, the case no longer needs to ... Read More
