Résumé:
Beyond the Plan is a book about the ways in which we transform our own personal space as an expression of ourselves, whilst still dwelling within structures imposed on us by architects and planners. It centres around a series of interviews carried out by Willats with people living on estates in London, Bath and Berlin between the late 1970s and late 1990s, which led to the creation of interactive and participatory artworks that were often presented in the same buildings in which those people lived. They examine the personalisation of the dwelling space itself, the individualisation of the immediate environment, and the ways in which adjacent spaces such as wastelands and allotments are turned into places of escape. In the accompanying essays, Willats explains why, as an artist, he centred his work on the polemics of modern building, and sets out the conclusions he has drawn from the exchanges he has had with residents - the common attitudes he has discovered across boundaries of age, taste and social background.

Résumé:
A hodge-podge: fiction, photos, poetry, catalogs, historical facts, a cartoon—the narrowly objective hard by the expansively subjective. The plurality of genres pleased me. Any account of our territory bereft of, say, facts, poetry, projections, wild speculation, polemics, or sketchy memory, would seem to me to be fatally compromised. As the Office for Soft Architecture(...)

Résumé:
A hodge-podge: fiction, photos, poetry, catalogs, historical facts, a cartoon—the narrowly objective hard by the expansively subjective. The plurality of genres pleased me. Any account of our territory bereft of, say, facts, poetry, projections, wild speculation, polemics, or sketchy memory, would seem to me to be fatally compromised. As the Office for Soft Architecture puts it in their Fourth Walk: “[We] painted the place in the polis of the sour heat and the pulse beneath our coats, the specific entry of our exhalations and words into the atmosphere…Our method was patience. We would slowly absorb each image until we were what we had deliberately chosen to become. Of course then we ourselves were the documents; we acquired a fragility. Hello my Delicate we would repeat when we met by chance in the streets under the rows of posters Hello my Delicate.” Matthew Stadler is a novelist and essayist whose writing about design has appeared in Nest magazine, Wiederhal, Frieze, The Guardian, and The Seattle Times. He is the editor of Clear Cut Press, a new publishing and distribution company based in Astoria, OR. editor@clearcutpress.com. Tae Won Yu is an artist working in Olympia, Washington. His previous projects include designs for Built To Spill, photographs for Nest magazine, and illlustrations for The Stranger.

Résumé:
Geoffrey James spent months tracking the Prairie light while photographing the city of Lethbridge and its environs. Those images reveal something of a place, a sensibility and a harsh light that together probe to the core of the Canadian experience. The images formed the basis of an exhibition, The Lethbridge Project, at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. Now, they have been married with the words of Rudy Wiebe to present a vision of the very soul of Canada, and of that Prairie experience which has so informed recent Canadian fiction. Rudy Wiebe offers an accompanying set of brief stories that draw on many layers of history as well as his personal memories to evoke the sense of place that is Lethbridge.

Résumé:
This issue of Public is devoted to the study of "scenes," treating these as phenomenal elements in the cultural life of cities. Both memorable and ephemeral, scenes conjugate a history of urban places by enacting a dramatic visibility. They are a measure of the decline, vitality and distinctiveness of a city. A century or more of theorizing has subdivided city cultures into communities, subcultures, networks and innumerable other unities. "Scenes" are both the haziest of such unities and some of the most productive. Amidst an explosion of writing on all aspects of urban culture, our focus on scenes has served to constrain and inspire the studies contained in this issue.
