Do you really know what is under that new house you just bought? How about what lies beneath the neighborhood playground? Was that "big box" retailer down your street built over a toxic site? These are just a few of the worrisome scenarios facing us all as our cities begin to redevelop old toxic waste sites—places Alan Berger has coined "drosscapes." "Drosscape : wasting(...)

Summary:
Do you really know what is under that new house you just bought? How about what lies beneath the neighborhood playground? Was that "big box" retailer down your street built over a toxic site? These are just a few of the worrisome scenarios facing us all as our cities begin to redevelop old toxic waste sites—places Alan Berger has coined "drosscapes." "Drosscape : wasting land in urban America" is a guide to this vast, hitherto largely ignored field of waste landscapes. Landscape architects must learn to accommodate these wastelands along with the more traditional challenges of site and construction. This will require a radical reconceptualization of thinking about landscape before potential solutions can be effectively addressed or devised. Ten cities are exam-ined both visually and analytically through the use of aerial photography and geospatially derived maps, charts, and graphs. Lured by tax incentives and the benefits of inade-quate public awareness, corporate America is rapidly developing these toxic sites. The photograhs and mappings are by the author.

Summary:
This book examines assumptions about why history, heritage, and place should matter. It ranges from a discussion of the commemoration of place in the Marquis de Lafayette's triumphal tour of the United States in 1824-25 to speculation about the cultural and political import of interpreting history on superfund toxic waste sites.

Summary:
To live in this world is to be conditioned by capital. Once paired with Western democracy, unfettered capitalism has led to a shrinking economic system that squeezes out billions of people—creating a planet of surplus populations. 'Wageless Life' is a manifesto for building a future beyond the toxic failures of late-stage capitalism. Daring to imagine new social(...)

Summary:
To live in this world is to be conditioned by capital. Once paired with Western democracy, unfettered capitalism has led to a shrinking economic system that squeezes out billions of people—creating a planet of surplus populations. 'Wageless Life' is a manifesto for building a future beyond the toxic failures of late-stage capitalism. Daring to imagine new social relations, new modes of economic existence, and new collective worlds, the authors provide skills and tools for perceiving—and living in—a post-capitalist future.

Summary:
Risk Colour Book is the result of an encounter between two bodies of work, both involved with the concept of risk. Whether we are dealing with an inventory of toxic pigments and their possible secondary effects or with a performance recreating the moment when a pedestrian is struck by a car, Gustavo Artigas explores the various possible kinds of risk, disasters and accidents. Through recording, repetition and the staging of action, Artigas exposes the fragility of the body, subjected to a cunningly latent violence.
