Summary:
A series of conversations with thinkers and practitioners of contemporary architecture today, featuring visiting lecturers Beatriz Colomina, Peter Wilson, and John Lin and Joshua Bolchover of Rural Urban Framework. The talks, which took place in 2018 and 2019 at the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne, dive deeper into the ideas and processes behind their buildings – the players, places, forces, cultural imperatives, and ideologies that the glamour of the finished output often obscures. In addition, thought-provoking essays by Diane Yvonne Ghirardo, Justin Clemens, Sven-Olov Wallenstein, and others offer fresh insights on the themes uncovered.

Summary:
The works of contemporary and established architecture, collected in five different itineraries within the volume, highlight the presence of a multitude of fragments and elements that make up the stratigraphy of the city. Venice turns out to be a laboratory for reflection on modernity to which it is necessary to turn our gaze in order to understand the complex uniqueness of a lagoon city that develops on an island. This presents itself as the city of the mind and people in that it consists entirely of pedestrian and public spaces but at the same time is traversed by water in which motor vehicles navigate. The unrepeatability of Venice makes its infinite architecture even more unprecedented and unique, giving those who visit it an unprecedented experience.

Summary:
The current phase of capitalist development manifests itself through a very diverse range of spatial byproducts: data centers, warehouses, container terminals, logistics parks, and many others. These architectural episodes express specific power relations, exacerbate issues of labor, and generate dramatic processes of subjectivity. Most importantly, these architectures, despite their formal and typological heterogeneity, belong to a common paradigm: the exteriorless. How can an architecture of the exteriorless be defined? How does it differentiate from examples and manifestations of the past? How do notions of legibility, form versus function, typological articulation come into play? In situating the spatialities of contemporary capitalism within the larger debate on Anthropocene, Post-Anthropocene, and Capitalocene, the book attempts to answer those questions by delineating three main characteristics for an architecture of the exteriorless: its physical and symbolic role as interface; its ambiguous condition of being at the same time local and global, isolated and connected, compressed and expanded; and, lastly, its contribution to new forms of urbanity in absence of the traditional city.
