The Underdome Guide to Energy Reform is the first book to map
the political implications of energy management in architecture. It
reenvisions collective priorities in the face of climate change, at
scales ranging from the microelectronic to macroregional.
Organized into sections covering power, territory, lifestyle, and risk, Underdome
catalogs conflicts and affiliations among energy agendas to inform
public action and function as a "voter guide." Original illustrations
reconsider architecture's symbolic and infrastructural connections to
energy politics. Probing essays by urban designer Georgeen Theodore and
architectural historians Reinhold Martin, Jonathan Massey, and Michael
Osman explore new histories and forms of practice. Transcripts from the
Underdome Sessions held at Columbia University Studio-X NYC — which
brought together panels of experts in design, policy, economics, and
history to attack the climate crisis from multiple angles— create a
larger dialogue.
Underdome is a call to action, urging
citizens and designers to questions how political ecology can reshape
architectural objects and objectives.
