Lecture: “How To Become Uncomfortable: Life Indoors after Carbon Dependence” by Prof. Dr. Daniel A. Barber
 < br>HOW TO BECOME UNCOMFORTABLE will turn the spotlight of climate action t o one of its most overlooked and undervalued site: our buildings and how w e inhabit them. For all of us, confronting climate change will mean finding new thresholds for comfort in our homes, our offices, our schools, that i s, everywhere ‘indoors’. This means changing our thermal practices: how we use our spaces and bodies with respect to heating and cooling – from clot hing to curtains, to seasonal habits and daily patterns. What are the skil ls and tools needed to better adjust, to reduce energy demand? And how can architects and designers change our buildings themselves to help us impro ve our thermal practices?

Daniel A. Barber is Professor of Architect ure at the Technical University of Eindhoven. He focuses on how architects engaged climate over the last century, and on how historical knowledge of architecture, climate, and energy can impact the ways that we design, bui ld, and live in houses today. His most recent book is Modern Architecture and Climate: Design before Air Conditioning (Princeton University Press, 2 020), which followed A House in the Sun: Modern Architecture and Solar Ene rgy in the Cold War (Oxford 2016); his article After Comfort (Log 2019) ha s been translated into five languages. He is the co-editor of the ongoing series After Comfort: A User's Guide and Accumulation, both on the e-flux architecture online platform. 

Barber has held fellowships at H arvard University, Princeton University, and through the Alexander von Hum boldt Foundation; in 2022 he was the inaugural Senior Research Fellow at t he Center for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies at Universiteit Hei delberg. He was recently Head of School Architecture at the University of Technology Sydney; he has also taught at the University of Pennsylvania Sc hool of Design, Oberlin College, Auckland University, and has lectured at design schools and museums globally.
