Towards an Ecology of Tectonis. The Need for Rethinking Construction in Architecture

In this book, ideas, design principles and practices that relate to tectonics in architecture are explored, and a series of themes are discussed in relation to various concepts of ecology. Ecology is, in this case, defined in its widest sense, which includes the cycling of resources, systems of social organisation and the environmental context. Tectonics-a concept with a long tradition in architecture and architectural theory-is comparable to ecology.
