• A selection of visually unique architecture and design projects by faculty, students, visitors, and friends of the University of Miami School of Architecture

• Explores how digital media and fabrication, sustainability, ecology, and emerging economies can shape contemporary classicism • Expands on the traditional understanding of canonical classicism by exploring heterodox methodologies

• Considers alternative modes of representation that have previously not been part of classical design

• Includes provocative essays that challenge our understanding of what classicism can beA quiet revolution is unfolding in the realm of classical architecture today, as the environmental, technological, and economic demands of contemporary practice require levels of efficiency that were never previously expected. This new wave of modern classicism reflects a progressive approach, addressing the pressing needs of the present and future fabric of our

cities, towns and landscapes. This book examines how classical - and traditional - architecture can evolve in relation to new paradigms of research and practice (digital media and fabrication, sustainability, ecology, and emerging economies). Based on recent work by leading figures associated with the University of Miami School of Architecture, and a series of design studios at the university (the William H. Harrison Visiting Critics in Classical Architecture), the book redefines the new classical discourse in terms of popular, professional, and academic appeal.
