"This book provides an urgent framework and collective reflection on how to understand the multiple ways to reconsider and recast architecture within ideas and politics of the commons and practices of commoning. Architecture from Public to Commons opens a dialogue with the scales of the commons, the limits of language for fluid identities, the practices of architecture as an institution, the design of objects for shared value, land protocols that explore alternatives to profit-seeking, and spirited conversations about revolting against architectural labor. Specific chapters also explore the boundaries of Blackness across the Atlantic, water cycles in depleted territories, indigenous women-led territorial and human rights cases, climate change accidental commons, and the active search for racial justice with design and place. Contributions range from theoretical and historical essays to current case studies of on-the-ground practices in the US, the Middle East, Europe, and Central and South America. Bringing together architects and landscape architects, scholars, artists, historians, sociologists, curators, and activists, this book instils an urgent framework and renewed set of tools to pivot from Architecture's traditional public to a politicized commons. It will greatly interest students, academics, and researchers in Architecture, Urban Design, Architectural Theory, Landscape Architecture, Political Economy, and Sociology"-- Provided by publisher.
