Ways of Seeing in the Anthropocene: Review of "The Geological Imagination" and "The Underdome Guide to Energy Reform"

Over the past few decades, architecture has birthed a bevy of modifiers and adjectives: sustainable, green, landscape.

There’s the aesthete camp, armed with green roofs and recycled timber cladding, that can often do more harm than good. There’s the austere contingent, with their holes-for-toilets and twee microhouses, who present neither a scalable solution nor an appealing product, alongside their inverse, who hijack the discourse and its strategies to simply make a buck.
