註釋

Carbon is everywhere: in the soil, in the air, in life. The foundation of architecture and the built environment, carbon is also infamous for intensifying the climate catastrophes around us. Architects, by the nature of their education and practice, transform carbon in the built environment. Twelve critical essays in this book present a constellation of voices surrounding carbon and its relationship with architecture, renovation, material, form, and design pedagogy. The renovation of two buildings on the equator at the College of Design and Engineering (CDE) at the National University of Singapore serves as the scaffold for reflection, raising key questions about the values embedded in the architecture of architecture schools: What principles might a low-carbon future embody? What do renovations mean for rapidly urbanizing Asia? How can they transform the relationship between climate and architecture on the equator? Do they demand new equatorial forms? How can material innovations influence their design? How can the design of architecture schools influence a new generation of architects toward a sustainable future? These and other questions are explored here, illustrating the models of thought that have shaped architecture and offer ways to sustainably transform carbon in our warming world.
