And how does power (or a lack of it) change the concept and the reality of what ‘home’ means? Join us for a top-down and bottom-up tour of domesticity, from geometrically pristine masterplanned utopias, to an altogether more DIY approach: unplanned and off-grid, into the margins, into ruin, and into hiding in plain sight. We’ll look at Potemkin villages and replica cities, McMansions and sham castles, cube farms and hot desks; spite fences, coffin homes, hippie communes, suburban malls, Cold War-era radar stations and more."

Tim Edensor highlights the danger of eradicating the evocative urban sites of industrial ruins through policies that privilege homogeneous new developments. It is precisely their fragmentary nature and lack of fixed meaning that render ruins deeply meaningful.

Summary:
Au XIXe siècle, à trois reprises - lors des chantiers haussmanniens, des bombardements prussiens de 1870, puis de la Commune - Paris se couvre de ruines. A partir d'archives et de témoignages, Eric Fournier retrace avec précision les violences infligées à la cité, et les bouleversements qu'elles impliquèrent dans la sensibilité de ses habitants. En rapprochant les grands travaux impériaux du sombre projet prêté aux communards - anéantir la capitale -, il met en lumière le lien qui unit le désir de contrôler la ville au besoin de la détruire. Il s'attache à comprendre comment le peuple de Paris, qu'il soit acteur ou spectateur, vécut l'intensité des chocs successifs, la disparition de son cadre de vie ou le remaniement brutal de sa géographie mentale. Il étudie enfin l'apparition, sur les pierres encore fumantes, d'un étonnant tourisme des ruines largement commenté par de véritables Guides. Dans cet ouvrage original, décrivant les ravages que provoquèrent alors la démesure des rénovations, puis l'explosion des obus, les incendies et les combats de rue, Eric Fournier se fait ainsi l'historien des Parisiens traumatisés par le surgissement et l'amoncellement des décombres au cœur de leur cité.

Summary:
Capital’s voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge. But what if we could do architecture differently? What does non-extractivist architecture look like? In this book, Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny introduce the concept of abundance to call for a paradigm shift in architecture. Using as its example the exceptional work of architect Anupama Kundoo, this book shows that non-extractivist and non-exploitative architecture is undeniably possible. Kundoo, born in Pune, India, weaves together innovative technological experimentation and traditional crafts. With careful consideration of local resources, building skills, climate, and environment, she makes buildings that embody spatial beauty and graceful materiality.
