a publication.
on Architectural Strategies Against Consumerism.
Against a Throwaway Architecture is a publication that challenges the built environment’s role amid consumerism, proposing architecture as a way to resist its corrosive effects. Through case studies, it explores how architecture can promote healthier, sustainable, and more adaptable futures by focusing on life cycles, open programs, and the reuse of existing structures. The book’s design reinforces this message by minimizing waste through restrained graphics and a folded A3 format that standardizes materials and reduces excess.
Chief Editor: Vittorio Lampugnani.
Coeditors: Edward Wang, Cherry Fung, and Anny Li.
Cocontributor: Graham Coffman.
