Building with What Remains: Architecture Beyond Extractivism

Simay, Philippe

Omschrijving

A radical call to build without extraction in an age of scarcity Reframing materials as ethical and ecological questions beyond carbon footprints and climate change A philosophical approach to resources that considers both human and non-human life Resource scarcity defines the conditions under which architecture now operates. This concise and rigorously argued essay addresses material use as an ethical and political question rather than a purely technical one. It moves beyond carbon metrics to propose a broader understanding of resources that includes ecological systems and the interdependence of human and non-human life. Drawing on Environmental Humanities, the text exposes the consequences of extractive building practices and outlines alternative approaches grounded in reuse and restraint. Its central proposition is direct: build without further extraction. Aimed at students, researchers and practitioners, the book provides a clear conceptual framework for rethinking construction in a context of environmental limits.
