Summary:
Western society is being terrorized by fear. Whether concerning national security, road safety or the protection of public health, every form of risk is meant to be spread, accounted for or eradicated. The safety and security obsession is leaving behind ever more visible traces, especially in public space. Speed bumps, smoke-free zones and surveillance cameras serve a society where prevention is the order of the day. This second book in the Group portraits series -a collaboration between the Netherlands architecture fund and the Netherlands foundation for visual arts, design and architecture (Fonds BKVB) - once again brings together four groups of young designers around a highly topical theme. As a sequel to the successful "City branding" book, this publication explores the various aspects of fear and prevention and considers the impact on contemporary urban space in four chapters. All the stops are pulled out: text, photography, research and design alternate in a thought-provoking sequence. This publication is the result of intensive research into the presence of fear in our Western society and the role that architecture might play herein. It is therefore an instrument for students, researchers, architects and policy-makers who are concerned with security issues.

Summary:
"Temporary discomfort" documents Davos, Genoa, New York and Evian/Geneva in a transitory state of emergency lock-down during the global economic summits (2001–2003). It combines different photographical genres: landscape photography, photojournalism and police photography, though here with the camera lens turned back at the security forces. But instead of street fighting and handshakes, Jules Spinatsch shows winter nights in Davos, complete with floodlighted barbedwire labyrinths. He shows Genova, a fortress empty as the Mediterranean noonday sky. We see freight containers, symbols for world trade, that are used as barricades against its foes. He invites us to scrutinize the streets in New York at night: road blocks, tents, and mobile transmission units: that seem surreally empty. He photographs the sleepy waking of the security guards. Spinatsch examines the waiting for the big event that appears as meticulously planned, down to the last detail.
