Title
Post-Anthropocene Pedagogy: Critical Sustainable Design in Architecture
Synopsis
Though architectural praxis is preoccupied with the design of an anthropocentric built world, it has only relatively recently been sensitive to its impact on the ecosystems it inevitably engages. Despite claims that architecture as a discipline has overtly integrated sustainability through mandated, accredited curricula and standardized sustainable rating systems, they are readily refuted by the rote methodologies undertaken by students and practitioners alike.
