Design By Fire Resistance Co-Creation And Retreat In The Pyrocene | Landscape & Planning

Across the world the risks of wildfires are increasing and expanding. Due to past and current human actions we dwell in the age of fire – the Pyrocene – and the many challenges and climate adaptation questions it provokes. Exploring our past and current relationships with fire this book speculates on the pyro futures yet to be designed and cared for. Drawing upon fieldwork mapping drone imagery and interviews this publication curates 27 global design case studies within the vulnerable and dynamic wildland-urban interface and its adjacent wildlands. The book catalogs these examples into three approaches: those that resist the creative and transformative power of fire and forces of landscape change those that embrace and utilize those forces and those that intentionally try to retreat and minimize human intervention in fire-prone landscapes. Rather than serving as a book of neatly packaged solutions it is a book of techniques to be considered tested and evaluated in a time of fire. |Design by Fire Resistance Co-Creation and Retreat in the Pyrocene | Landscape & Planning
