Résumé:
This volume offers a welcome and long-awaited intervention for the field by shining a spotlight on constructions of race and their impact on architecture and theory in Europe and North America and across various global contexts since the eighteenth century. Challenging us to write race back into architectural history, contributors confront how racial thinking has intimately shaped some of the key concepts of modern architecture and culture over time, including freedom, revolution, character, national and indigenous style, progress, hybridity, climate, representation, and radicalism. By analyzing how architecture has intersected with histories of slavery, colonialism, and inequality — from eighteenth-century neoclassical governmental buildings to present-day housing projects for immigrants — 'Race and Modern Architecture' challenges, complicates, and revises the standard association of modern architecture with a universal project of emancipation and progress.

Résumé:
Taking the form of an eighteenth century plate-book, this witty artist's book proposes 83 new designs for door frames. Printed in sepia, the sometimes impractical, outrageous or tasteful designs cover many epochs and motifs--from Gothic to Postmodern, Chinoise to Turkish--but always from the same perspective.

Résumé:
Since the late eighteenth century, academic engagement with political, economic, social, cultural and spatial changes in our cities has been dominated by theoretical frameworks crafted with reference to just a small number of cities. This book offers an antidote to the continuing focus of urban studies on cities in ‘the Global North’.
