Summary:
What have smart technologies taught us about cities? What lessons can we learn from today’s urbanites to make better places to live? Antoine Picon and Carlo Ratti argue that the answers are in the maps we make. For centuries, we have relied on maps to navigate the enormity of the city. Now, as the physical world combines with the digital world, we need a new generation of(...)

Summary:
What have smart technologies taught us about cities? What lessons can we learn from today’s urbanites to make better places to live? Antoine Picon and Carlo Ratti argue that the answers are in the maps we make. For centuries, we have relied on maps to navigate the enormity of the city. Now, as the physical world combines with the digital world, we need a new generation of maps to navigate the city of tomorrow. Pervasive sensors allow anyone to visualize cities in entirely new ways—ebbs and flows of pollution, traffic, and internet connectivity. This book explores how the growth of digital mapping, spurred by sensing technologies, is affecting cities and daily lives. It examines how new cartographic possibilities aid urban planners, technicians, politicians, and administrators; how digitally mapped cities could reveal ways to make cities smarter and more efficient; how monitoring urbanites has political and social repercussions; and how the proliferation of open-source maps and collaborative platforms can aid activists and vulnerable populations. With its beautiful, accessible presentation of cutting-edge research, this book makes it easy for readers to understand the stakes of the new information age—and appreciate the timeless power of the city.

Des articles qui explorent la question des impostures et des vérités dans l'art contemporain. En s'intéressant aux jeux fictionnels de tromperies mis en place par les artistes et écrivains, les contributeurs montrent que ce type de production n'est autre que le reflet d'une société de l'hyperspectacle où règne l'imposture généralisée.

Architettura è mestiere o spazio di autonomia del pensiero critico? E se è arte, come si configura il suo processo creativo e “produttivo”? In quella contraddizione le avanguardie storiche hanno dibattuto per affermarsi, spesso costruendo ideologie che la critica ha svelato, soprattutto quella degli anni settanta dello IUAV, poi ripresa da I. de Solà-Morales, dai(...)

In quella contraddizione le avanguardie storiche hanno dibattuto per affermarsi, spesso costruendo ideologie che la critica ha svelato, soprattutto quella degli anni settanta dello IUAV, poi ripresa da I. de Solà-Morales, dai gruppi americani di “Oppositions” e di “Any”. Il saggio ripercorre le principali fasi di quel dibattito — che l’autore considera ormai esaurito — e auspica un ritorno alle origini dell’atto creativo che l’Architettura comunque rappresenta, anche in assenza di quelle “avanguardie” che gli architetti hanno da sempre (avuto) nel loro DNA.

Summary:
''Who is the architect?'' explores how the figure of the architect has been constructed and challenged in recent years. Traditionally perceived as male, Western and individualistic, architects are now being urged to redefine themselves in a more diverse, inclusive manner. The publication discusses the need to challenge norms and establish caring as an essential quality in the architectural discourse. With the threat of environmental collapse and other societal challenges, the need for collective teamwork and empathy has become central in establishing a common understanding that includes all beings. ''Building diversity'' aims to tackle these issues and explore topics on diversity and equality in the architectural field's past, present and future. The publication features thoughts and ideas from a broad range of countries and diverse perspectives on the architectural field, contributing to a wider dialogue about inclusion, intersectionality and progress. ''Building diversity'' is not intended to provide concrete solutions but aims to stimulate discussion and open up venues for hosting dialogues pointing to possible paths and the expansion of perspectives. It is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about diversity and equality in the architectural field.

Advocates of the technology point to the development of a new internet (Web3) and conjure up notions of a gigantic future metaverse and the emergence of increasingly decentralised organisations and structures. Some see this as crypto-anarchistic wishful thinking, while others forecast a more democratic and just future for all. ‘Algorithmic Imaginary’ focuses on the works and ideas of artists and theorists who analyse, question, and reconceive both blockchain and associated applications such as DAOs, NFTs, and the metaverse.

Banality is a style of experience often indicated by variations of the statement, ''nothing is happening.'' When you are ''doing nothing,'' the life you are living appears as both ordinary and impassive. In the present moment, these qualities also come to describe the endurance of structures of impoverishment, disenfranchisement, criminalization, and environmental(...)

Summary:
Banality is a style of experience often indicated by variations of the statement, ''nothing is happening.'' When you are ''doing nothing,'' the life you are living appears as both ordinary and impassive. In the present moment, these qualities also come to describe the endurance of structures of impoverishment, disenfranchisement, criminalization, and environmental destruction that form the background and backbone of the current political-economic system, so that '''doing politics'' often comes to mean interrupting banality. Offering new ways of conceiving the notions of inactionability and intractability that attend to these structures, Devin Wangert forwards banality as a concept capable of both adequately describing those structures as inactionable or impossible situations and of identifying affinities between forms of livelihood that go on living in and responding to those situations. He suggests that repertoires of thinking and acting which were historically posed in opposition to banality and understood as responsible for creating change come instead to actively produce impossible situations as banal and posit banality as an obstacle to political subjectivity, thought, and action.

''Enfleshed: Ecologies of entities and beings'' brings together practitioners, thinkers, and artists from across Eurasia to collectively explore multispecies ecologies. The volume reflects anthrodecentric and embodied approaches to collaboration and knowledge production––processes that are always interwoven with a multitude of entities and actors. In this book, the contributions flow like a river across the Eurasian continent, branching out into all directions. The contributors engage in an exploration of experimental epistemic alliances, which operate as a way to learn and make new dialogic relations. The conflicts generated by ecological disaster, war, the global economy, identity politics, and the power structures of knowledge production and science here intertwine with shamanisms, rituals, magic, speculation, politics, and poetics. How do we imagine an active and implicated role of the human as one being among other beings? What might this entail, and what might this generate?
