San Rocco 06: Collaborations
$24.99
(available to order)
Summary:
San Rocco proposes the possibility of reusing architectural traditions that lie outside of private memory without erasing personal contributions. In San Rocco, common does not mean dry, and personal does not mean egomaniacal. It seems to suggest the possibility of an architecture that is both open and personal, both monumental and fragile, both rational and questioning.

Summary:
Currency is structured by a fundamental contradiction between its necessary circulation and its stubborn foundation in sovereign territories.

Summary:
Currency is structured by a fundamental contradiction between its necessary circulation and its stubborn foundation in sovereign territories. On the one hand, it is designed to represent value and facilitate its exchange in standardized, fungible units; on the other, its relative scarcity generates a strong incentive to hoard it, withdrawing and storing its value, converting it into fixed assets such as property whose existence relies on the same institutions of coercion that maintain national borders. Today's globalized capitalism only exacerbates this paradox. The ascendency of finance capital in North America and Europe has created a condition where the accumulation of capital is based almost purely on speculation, and money is multiplied through its circulation. At the same time, the struggle to secure the territories and bodies that guarantee it has become ever more desperate as civilian spaces have been more and more militarized. The result has been an increasingly complex space of value, where the borders that produce its distinctions are no longer located at a nation's edges, but rather lie both within and beyond it. The diverse contributions to Scapegoat's fifth issue, Currency, investigate these contradictory tendencies within the spatiality of currency and present ways that they can be resisted. We follow a line that runs from the material to the immaterial, exploring divergent scales and topologies in the process.

Couturé, retourné, tailladé, entaillé, exposé, déchiré - le paysage dans sa totalité, peut être considéré comme une succession de cicatrices se recouvrant les unes les autres : mais par-delà ce qui relève de son histoire géologique ou par-delà ce qui l'ouvre continûment sous nos yeux comme chantier, il lui arrive d'être affecté profondément, dans sa chair même pourrait-on dire, par de terribles accidents. C'est à ces traumatismes et aux questions qu'ils soulèvent, mais aussi aux cures qu'ils permettent d'imaginer, que ce numéro 11 des Cahiers de l'Ecole de Blois est consacré.

Summary:
OASE 90 investigates the expectation behind existing value models in architecture. Many problems in today’s architecture world would vanish if every once in a while it was clearer what is meant by good architecture. The ‘crisis of criticism’, for instance, is a symptom of the impossibility of knowing (or daring to know) what good architecture is. Over the past century, models for architecture evaluation such as modernism and postmodernism have been modified by supermodernism and retromodernism, and more recently by sustainability. Nevertheless, it is impossible to work with architecture – in design, theory or history – without making assumptions about criteria for quality. This issue uncovers and makes explicit the assumptions underlying these models, by posing the simple question ‘What is good architecture?’ in different ways and have it answered by people whose ‘main occupation’ is architecture. This issue of OASE can be like a banquet at which each guest selects something entirely different from the menu in a well-reasoned and forthright way – and so keeps the architecture party going.

Summary:
Works That Work examines the often ignored areas of design through engaging storytelling. In this spirit, it also intends to bypass traditional distribution networks and marketing. Instead, it focuses on deepening relationships with its readers, making them partners in this enterprise. Seeking out examples of unexpected creativity from India to the Netherlands, it promotes the idea that creativity surrounds us in our daily lives, from refugee gardens in Tunisia to the vernacular culture of Chinese megacities. With contributions by Michael Wolf, Henk Wildschut, Linda Asher, Irma Boom, David Ives, Hanif Kureshi, Robin Stam, Alexandre Orion, and many more.
