Summary:
Changing social structures and systems call for new forms of architecture. This book by the five-member team +RAMTV was written at the celebrated Design Research Laboratory of the Architectural Association in London. Taking Le Corbusier’s Unités d’habitation as their starting point, the authors develop a flexible system that permits them to take optimal account of social and cultural conditions in their design processes. The future residents inject their ideas into the discussion via the Internet and thus influence and, to some extent, newly generate their environment.

Summary:
Humanity has always excluded Others on the basis of race and gender. What happens to people who choose to flee, following in the footsteps of those who resisted enslavement? This audacious manifesto draws on the legacies of bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis and others to consider the ways in which Black women have been excluded from, struggled to achieve and opted to reject the category of ‘human’. Sociologist Akwugo Emejulu argues that it is only through embracing the status of the ‘fugitive’ that Black women can determine their own liberation. ''Fugitive Feminism'' is a call for the collective process of speculative dialogue and a bold new model for action.
