Does Beauty matter in a Climate Emergency?
Nicholas Ray (Architecture, University of Liverpool)
Barnabas Calder (Archtecture, University of Liverpool)
Julian Roberts (Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich)
An architectural historian, an architect and a philosopher ask: Does the climate emergency change how we should design and judge our environment?
Buildings are responsible for 39% of all anthropogenic climate change emissions. As we fight to cut this to zero, does it still matter what our buildings look like, or is the only good building a zero-carbon building? What can the designers, makers and users of buildings do in the face of climate emergency, and what should they do?
Followed by audience Q&A session.
Speakers:
Barnabas Calder is Senior Lecturer in the School of Architecture at the University of Liverpool and author of Architecture: from Pre-history to Climate Emergency.
Julian Roberts is Professor of Philosophy in the University of Munich and author of books on Walter Benjamin and other German philosophers.
Nicholas Ray practised as an architect for 40 years, is Honorary Visiting Professor at the University of Liverpool and the author of Architecture and its Ethical Dilemmas .
This is the second of six public lectures hosted by the School of the Arts at the University of Liverpool on the theme Arts, Sustainability and the Climate Crisis.
