Résumé:
What kind of architecture will be born once its primary purpose is serving communities and not capital accumulation? How can we compel the market to factor in the true long-term costs of construction and material production? How can we reduce the sense of abstraction that separates 'consumers' of architecture from the environmental damage wrought at the sites of material extraction? How can communities become fully involved in every stage of the production of architecture, not just its final consumption? This book attempts to frame the problem, and begins the process of delineating alternative paths forward. The first step architects can take towards a more just, harmonious, and non-exploitative designed environment is to redesign themselves, and what the word 'architect' stands for.

Résumé:
This first volume in a series examining intersections between architectural theory and practice addresses environmental crisis and spatial justice through four essays. Marc Angélil and Cary Siress trace the evolution from Technocene, Thermocene, Plantationocene, to Entropocene, Capitalocene, and Urbicene. Elke Krasny reflects on scales of care within social justice and decolonization. Contributors explore the "Curated Diner" as a planning intervention. Finally, Space Caviar advocates for a non-extractive approach to architecture as part of a broader economic transformation. These interdisciplinary contributions aim to reshape the discourse and discuss equitable, inclusive, and intergenerational practices.

Résumé:
The way we live is rapidly changing under pressure from multiple forces financial, environmental, technological, geopolitical. What we used to call home may not even exist anymore, having transmuted into a financial commodity of which the square meter is the basic unit. Yet, domesticity and the domestic space ceased long ago to be present in the architectural agenda. SQM,(...)

Résumé:
The way we live is rapidly changing under pressure from multiple forces financial, environmental, technological, geopolitical. What we used to call home may not even exist anymore, having transmuted into a financial commodity of which the square meter is the basic unit. Yet, domesticity and the domestic space ceased long ago to be present in the architectural agenda. SQM, produced for the 2014 Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk, Belgium, charts the scale of this change using data, fiction, and a critical selection of homes and their interiors from Osama bin Laden s compound to apartment living in the age of Airbnb.
