Summary:

But this is also an art history of the polyhedra themselves, emblems of an evolving artistic intelligence, which include a varied set of geometrical figures—both Platonic, or regular, like the simple tetrahedron, and Archimedean, or irregular, like the complex yet beguiling rhombicosidodecahedron.

Lively examples show how designers can interact with physical materials to jump-start the course of thinking and inventing and how they can involve real people and real environments to take a fresh look at real problems. At the core of the book is a visual glossary of materials, organized both to inspire and inform. Everyday uses of each material are juxtaposed with experimental projects that reveal how designers from around the world have exploited materials in surprising and creative ways.

Summary:
Interspace investigates the spatial and social consequences of a data-driven society where personalised information flows produce a multitude of personalised readings of the collective sphere and thus, the role of public space is to be questioned. Accompanied by a new understanding about authorship and new techniques of design, this participatory model calls out for new ways of organising spaces. With regard to the changes that the last substantial structural transformation of the public – web 2.0 – has brought along in architecture, Interspace analyses what has architecture got to do with big data and what is the architects’ role at the time when their expertise is being challenged by digital technologies.

For more than half a century, the artist Luis Camnitzer has been concerned with the same things. In 1960, as an art student in Uruguay, he was part of a collective of artists, students, and educators who reformed the School of Fine Arts in Montevideo. Today, this same ''ethical anarchist'' is still preoccupied with the role of education in redistributing power in society.(...)

Today, this same ''ethical anarchist'' is still preoccupied with the role of education in redistributing power in society. With mischevious wit and wisdom, Camnitzer summons an inherent utopianism in egalitarian, participatory models of art education to identify how meaning is made. This anthology of writings, many published for the first time, gather a life's work in art, education, and activism.
