Résumé:
Entropy is the quantitative measure of disorder in a system. During the nineteenth century, chaos, seen through an entropic lens, was linked to irresponsible waste and moral debauchery, but in the second part of the twentieth century the notion has beenreconsidered in an affirmative sense, as a condition linked to growing complexity and new life. This alternate understanding of entropy has come to inform contemporary discourse and the practice of a new architectural generation. Many of the papers in this issue were first presented at the Phyllis Lambert seminar that took place at the École d'architecture, Université de Montréal, in March 2010

Volume 30: privatize!
$19.95

Résumé:
What used to be collective care is rapidly becoming private responsibility. Is privatization the one-size-fits-all solution to every (financial) problem? Can addressing collective needs be thought of as the sum total of numerous private initiatives? And will the 'retreat' of government and state be compensated by other ways to organize the complex organism called society?(...)

Résumé:
In the nineteenth century, Marx rejected the notion of homo sapiens, offering instead homo faber to indicate how consciousness follows from the primary activity of making. Against this, a certain ludic tradition has imagined a homo ludens, humans defined through their relationship with games and play. Cabinet 45 features Joshua Glenn on H.G. Wells’ “Floor Games”; D. Graham Burnett on games played by game theorists; Barbara Levine and Jessica Helfand on dexterity games; James Trainor on the lost world of “adventure” playgrounds; Dana Katz on Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s “Oblique Strategies”; an interview with Bertell Ollman, inventor of the board game “Class Struggle”; and Jeff Dolven on poems as games. Elsewhere in the issue: Helen Larsson on the history of applause; Wayne Koestenbaum’s legendary “Legend” column; Naomi Muller on eating the zoo animals in Berlin during World War II; Jeremy Crichton on “spite” houses; and much more.
