This collection of essays looks at Rome from a postmodern perspective, including analysis of the city's 'unmappability', its fragmented narratives and its iconic status in literature and film.

Summary:
This book explores ‘spatial practices’, a loose and expandable set of approaches that embrace the political and the activist, the performative and the curatorial, the architectural and the urban. Acting upon and engaging with the public realm, the field of spatial practices allows people to reconnect with their own sense of agency through engagement in space and place, exploring and prototyping alternative futures in the here and now. The 24 chapters contain essays, visual essays and interviews, featuring contributions from an international set of experimental practitioners including Jeanne van Heeswijk (Netherlands), Teddy Cruz (Estudio Teddy Cruz + Fonna Forman, San Diego), Hector (USA), The Decorators (London) and OOZE (Netherlands). Beautifully designed with full colour illustrations, Spatial Practices advances dialogue and collaboration between academics and practitioners and is essential reading for students, researchers and professionals in architecture, urban planning and urban policy.

L’ouvrage réunissant une équipe pluridisciplinaire de chercheurs présente un matériau empirique original sur cette réalité émergente, encore mal connue : celle de la multiplication des tiers-lieux dans les villes et hors des centres métropolitains. Il pose de nouvelles questions, encore peu traitées dans la littérature, en s’intéressant à la trajectoire sociale des fondateurs d’espaces de coworking, aux nouvelles manières des jeunes générations de travailleurs du numérique de conjuguer leurs aspirations de liberté et d’épanouissement dans les domaines professionnel et privé, ainsi qu’à leurs nouveaux rapports à la collaboration, au travail, au territoire, à la mobilité et aux questions écologiques.
