Summary:
Grand Domestic Revolution Handbook compiles investigations and living research into the concept of the home and the "domestic" by more than 25 artists, designers, theorists and activists. Through case studies, project documentation, ephemera, analyses and theory, the status of the home is revealed beyond the narrow lens of private concerns, but with full consideration of a "privateness" that revitalizes the individual and allows for other forms of sociality. In both form and content, this volume attempts to uncover the potentialities of the house and the private sphere through a rethinking of social practices in conjunction with practical design approaches.

Summary:
Literature provides essential insights into how people experience, use and imagine places. In an accessible but scientifically aware manner, architect and author Klaske Havik (born 1975) argues that literary authors most effectively portray the concept of lived and experienced space, evoking memories and imaginations in their readers.

Summary:
We Own the City examines the ways in which urban dwellers--who used to be merely "clients" of development--are taking ownership of their neighborhoods. Bottom-up initiatives are cropping up around the world, but institutions, government offices and developers often find themselves uncertain how to collaborate with and empower these impassioned citizens and communities. Offering solutions to this disconnect, this book analyzes this international trend through five case studies, focusing on Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Moscow, New York and Taipei, each of which discusses different dynamics and intensities of citizens' redevelopment processes.
