Summary:
The world today faces overwhelming ecological and social problems and the concern for material existence on earth is more pressing than ever. This book spells out various roles that visual artists and designers play facing these issues. Collective action is necessary and inevitable. This approach often changes the artist’s identity and working habits: from individuality and autonomy to collectivity and collaboration, both locally and globally. These developments have given rise to new kinds of collective art and design practices: artists work together with non-artists, make products for their local environment and take on multiple identities, such as researcher, community activist, computer hacker or business consultant. This volume looks at art practices across all continents that do not conform to a Western concept of art nor to traditional distinctions between art, design, research and activism—where the boundaries between art, design, research and activism become blurred or are dissolved.

Summary:
Environmental disasters and severe weather due to climate change have had an increasingly direct impact on our homes. But the way in which America builds its homes is part of the problem. This deeply researched history of sustainable design standards in building codes explores how public policy, standard-setting trade associations, and financial incentives influence the ways in which the construction of our homes impacts the environment. It exposes how the socioeconomic and political forces that influenced early building code development continue to define the character of current building codes and, by extension, determine how we regulate environmental impact and define sustainability today.

Summary:
Une ressource, une communauté et des règles de gouvernance établies afin de gérer équitablement la ressource : l'alliance de ces trois éléments constitue ce que l'on nomme aujourd'hui « le commun ». Nous assistons ces dernières années à une véritable explosion des expérimentations et des réflexions autour de ce thème, qui est devenu une référence centrale de la lutte et de l'action politique, sociale, économique et urbaine. Toutefois, si l'on passe de la notion générale à son application à des cas concrets, nous nous apercevons que peu de travaux sont consacrés à la place que prennent les communs dans la ville et à la manière dont ils contribuent à la transformation de ses formes matérielles. Les communs sont des espaces d'actions collectifs, mais aussi des lieux et des formes spatiales et paysagères : il peut s'agir d'une cour africaine, de la cage d'escalier d'un immeuble collectif, d'une friche industrielle ou d'un potager urbain. Cet ouvrage étudie les modalités d'appropriation de ces espaces par celles et ceux qui les pratiquent et met en résonance l'approche des sciences sociales avec celle de l'urbanisme, pour tenter de répondre à la question : en quoi et sous quelles conditions les communs contribuent-ils à mettre en rapport harmonieux la cité et la ville, les formes matérielles et les modes d'habiter ?

Price:
$56.00
(available to order)
Summary:
This publication explores a series of urgent questions addressing architecture’s role in the welfare and everyday life of citizens, from the interdisciplinary perspectives of architecture, art history and anthropology. With Denmark as a case, it examines how the spatiality of the welfare system has transformed, since the end of the so-called “golden age of the welfare state” in the early 1970s until today. Rather than unfolding a singular narrative of loss and nostalgia associated with welfare dismantlement – or one of triumphant humanization and restructuring of modernist planned environments – it describes shifting spatial materializations of welfare and the “good life” at the intersection of these two tendencies, under the influence of a Danish version of the neoliberal turn and other important societal transformations. A rich analytical sequence of drawn visualization supplements the book’s textual and photographic descriptions of welfare space transformation.

Summary:
The essays and works of art and design featured in this publication are organized around three territories: the atmospheric, the biologic, and the geologic. Each cluster of essays is further framed by forewords and afterwords, which draw individual points of view into a larger articulation of what an ambiguous territory might be and how it operates. "Ambiguous Territory" emerged from a symposium and exhibition held at the University of Michigan in the fall of 2017, and exhibitions at the University of Virginia and Pratt Manhattan Gallery in 2018, and at Ithaca College in 2019. This volume belongs in that territory of ambiguity and curiosity, a place where there is room for musings, laughter, and despair. The projects convey, in different ways, a hope for a better future, but also a sense of not knowing if that future is at all possible.

Summary:
In this book, Timothy Hyde considers the role of aesthetic judgment in architectural debates and their resulting social effects across three centuries of British architectural history. From eighteenth-century ideas about Stonehenge to Prince Charles’s opinions about the National Gallery, Hyde uncovers a new story of aesthetic judgment, where arguments about architectural ugliness do not pertain solely to buildings or assessments of style, but intrude into other spheres of civil society. Hyde explores how accidental and willful conditions of ugliness have been debated in parliamentary committees, courtrooms, and public inquiries. He recounts how architects such as Christopher Wren, John Soane, James Stirling, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe have been summoned by tribunals of aesthetic judgment. With his novel scrutiny of lawsuits for libel, changing paradigms of nuisance law, and conventions of monarchical privilege, he shows how aesthetic judgments have become entangled in wider assessments of art, science, religion, political economy, and the state.

This volume is a history of twentieth-century Britain told through the rise, fall, and reinvention of six different types of urban space: the industrial estate, shopping precinct, council estate, private flats, shopping mall, and suburban office park. Sam Wetherell shows how these spaces transformed Britain’s politics, economy, and society, helping forge a midcentury developmental state and shaping the rise of neoliberalism after 1980. Taking readers to almost every major British city as well as to places in the United States and Britain’s empire, the book highlights how some of the major transformations of twentieth-century British history were forged in the everyday spaces where people lived, worked, and shopped.

It explores their relationship to the pulses of daily life, their meaning within a quotidian context, and their place within the development of modern cities. Through Andrew Shanken’s close historical readings of memorials, both well-known and obscure, two distinct strands of scholarship are thus brought together: the study of the everyday and memory studies. This book explores how memorials end up where they are, grow invisible, fight with traffic, get moved, are assembled into memorial zones, and are drawn anew into commemorations and political maelstroms that their original sponsors never could have imagined. Finally, exploring how people behave at memorials and what memorials ask of people reveals just how strange the commemorative infrastructure of modernity is.
