Summary:
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) took his first major trip to New York in 1909, fleeing a failed marriage and artistic stagnation. He returned a decade later, his personal life and architectural career again in crisis. Booming 1920s New York served as a refuge, but it also challenged him and resurrected his career. The city connected Wright with important clients and(...)

Facing economic, cultural and political crisis, Europe must seek sustainable urban solutions. Living together in collective housing, compact cities and well-integrated countries on a shared continent is the best course for future survival. Thus the importance of building types and urban models for better energy use is tantamount. Editor Luis Fernández-Galiano contributes(...)

Facing economic, cultural and political crisis, Europe must seek sustainable urban solutions. Living together in collective housing, compact cities and well-integrated countries on a shared continent is the best course for future survival. Thus the importance of building types and urban models for better energy use is tantamount. Editor Luis Fernández-Galiano contributes two essays on the topic – “Living Together” and “In Praise of the Compact City” – and illustrates these with twenty works in ten countries, from Norway to Portugal and the United Kingdom to Germany. Featured architects include Dominique Perrault, Hild und K Architekten and AH Asociados, among others.

How can we unlock society’s potential to shift the course of the climate crisis? So many of us feel helpless in the face of corporate-fuelled environmental destruction. However, Practicing Social Ecology shows that there is an amazing well of untapped power in our communities—we just need to know how to use it.

How can we unlock society’s potential to shift the course of the climate crisis? So many of us feel helpless in the face of corporate-fuelled environmental destruction. However, Practicing Social Ecology shows that there is an amazing well of untapped power in our communities—we just need to know how to use it. Drawing from her experience of working in democratic ecology movements from the revolution in Rojava to Barcelona’s municipalist movement, Finley shows how to develop assemblies, confederations, study groups, and permaculture projects. Looking to history, she maps out how social ecologists, such as Murray Bookchin, have led inspirational struggles around climate and energy, agriculture and biotechnology, globalization, and economic inequality.

Architect Léon Krier's doodles, drawings, and ideograms make arguments in images, without the circumlocutions of prose. Drawn with wit and grace, these clever sketches do not try to please or flatter the architectural establishment.

Architect Léon Krier's doodles, drawings, and ideograms make arguments in images, without the circumlocutions of prose. Drawn with wit and grace, these clever sketches do not try to please or flatter the architectural establishment. Rather, they make an impassioned argument against what Krier sees as the unquestioned doctrines and unacknowledged absurdities of contemporary architecture. In an age of energy crisis, he writes (and his drawings show), we "build in the wrong places, in the wrong patterns, materials, densities, and heights, and for the wrong number of dwellers"; a return to traditional architectures and building and settlement techniques can be the means of ecological reconstruction. Each of Krier's provocative and entertaining images is worth more than a thousand words of theoretical abstraction.

Summary:
Cotten Seiler combs through a vast number of historical, social scientific, philosophical, and literary sources to illustrate the importance of driving to modern American conceptions of the self and the social and political order. He finds that as the figure of the driver blurred into the figure of the citizen, automobility became a powerful resource for women, African Americans, and others seeking entry into the public sphere. And yet, he argues, the individualistic but anonymous act of driving has also monopolized our thinking about freedom and democracy, discouraging the crafting of a more sustainable way of life. As our fantasies of the open road turn into fears of a looming energy crisis, Seiler shows us just how we ended up a republic of drivers—and where we might be headed.
