This book is a collection of what he calls "detritus"; from the link he created between the historic Dutch city of Utrecht and a homeless camp in the California desert called Slab City. The mixed narratives of individual freedom and communal living meet in both places, as diverse as they may seem, as do other places drawn together using non-linear, multi-layered methods to explore subjects like the history of the Colorado River, the social functions of books and libraries, and disciplines as diverse as chemistry, architecture, social psychology, agriculture, language and disaster response.

Summary:
In this book art critic and historian Sven Lutticken takes philosopher Theodor Adorno's critique of popular arts and culture a step further. Adorno criticized the manipulation of taste in official cultures and the pretense of individualism; Lutticken looks at the tension between fundamentalism and individualism in the context of the current religious-political image wars. This book examines both the afterlife of religious elements in modern culture and possible responses to the current religious re-appropriation of Adorno's critique of modern capitalist culture by both Christian fundamentalists and radical Islamists.

Summary:
Is Europe a place, a space, or a temporary community of shared interests? As a political space, Europe is as conflictual as its debated constitution. It is a construct that must be continuously negotiated, and its longing for an architecture of strategic encounters parallels an increasing economical power of the private sector, while the sovereignty of European nation(...)

Summary:
Is Europe a place, a space, or a temporary community of shared interests? As a political space, Europe is as conflictual as its debated constitution. It is a construct that must be continuously negotiated, and its longing for an architecture of strategic encounters parallels an increasing economical power of the private sector, while the sovereignty of European nation states attenuate. This book, edited by London-based architect and author Markus Miessen, marks an extension of the discursive space he has produced as contribution to the 2007 Lyon Biennial. He has pulled together a heterogeneous group of interlocutors to lead conversations on alternative notions of participation, the inconsistence between democratic concepts, and what it means to live in Europe today.

Summary:
À l'heure du développement durable et d'une extension urbaine grandissante, nous ne pouvons plus considérer la ville comme une antinature, un système inconciliable avec les principes de l'écologie. Pourtant, si l'écologie du paysage est aujourd'hui étudiée et mise en œuvre au sein des zones agricoles, il y a encore très peu de connaissances et de recherches sur le fonctionnement du paysage vu par l'écologue dans les systèmes urbanisés : c'est ce qui constitue l'originalité du présent ouvrage. Cet essai a pour ambition de montrer l'intérêt d'une écologie du paysage, appliquée à la gestion des territoires urbains en privilégiant la présence d'une nature qui «fonctionne» dans la ville, notamment par le biais du «maillage vert». L'objectif intéresse non seulement la conservation de la nature et le maintien des biodiversités locales et régionales mais aussi les projets d'urbanisme.
