Denna bok är skriven av Tommy Vince, medgrundare och delägare av Kärnvirke Arkitektur. ”How Architecture Can Save The World From Global Climate Change” grundar sig i tankar, värderingar och kunskap inom arkitektur som vuxit fram under flera års arkitektstudier. Boken tar upp banbrytande fakta och intressanta tankar kring arkitekturens roll i klimat- och hållbarhetsfrågan. En arkitekturteori tagen till sin absoluta spets, som vågar utmana de stora beprövade byggnadsmetoderna i världen. How Architecture Can Save the World From Global Climate Change är skriven för den som har en fascination för arkitektur med särskilt intresse för nordisk timmerkultur genom en väl illustrerad och detaljerad läsning. På ett poetiskt sätt väver boken ihop arkitektur, data, vetenskap, konstruktion och ideologier till fördel för samhällets förhållande till klimatfrågan. Den här boken är mer än bara en coffee table book, den är ett konststycke som utmanar föreställningen om vad en bok om arkitektur kan vara. 


”Is finding your house sinking into the ground the next big thing within sustainable architecture? Well, if you find the arguments of this project strong enough, it might actually be a common sight in the near future. How architecture can save the world from global climate change proposes an architecture that both sequesters its embodied C[O2] mass and does so within a targeted time frame of a generation. Performed as projected, this pioneering project might just be the world’s most sustainable architecture, ever designed”. 
 
“An intensely original and highly provocative MA Thesis, executed with care; supported by an amazing body of research with attention to detail and scientific accuracy.  A mythic construction, full of poetic notions that allows others to rethink change.”
Amalia Katapodis, University Lecturer, UMA
 

“A mindful reflection inside the walls of academia as a reminder that buildings are alive. A relevant Thesis to consciously understand that matter breathes and architecture passes away” 

Alejandro Haiek, University Lecturer, UMA
