Résumé:
Davis focuses on the great drama of how Latinos are attempting to translate their urban demographic ascendancy into effective social power. Pundits are now unanimous that Spanish-surname voters are the sleeping giant of US politics. Though the overall vote in the 1996 elections declined significantly, the Latino share rose by a spectacular 16%. Yet electoral mobilization alone is unlikely to redress the increasing income and opportunity gaps between urban Latinos and suburban non-Hispanic whites. Thus in Los Angeles and elsewhere, the militant struggles of Latino workers and students are reinventing the American left. "Magical Urbanism" is fascinating reading for anyone who wants to grasp the future of urban America.

Written between 2012 and 2025, this is a collection of texts about the author's fascination with Italy and his interest in its architecture and urban culture. Many of the papers are adapted from lectures and course notes for students, and based on a way of working which prioritises learning by looking and advocates that architectural design should be rooted in the detailed observation of the existing.

Résumé:
The Space Reader provides a highly pertinent and contemporary understanding of space for a new generation of students and architects. It espouses a definition of space that is heterogeneous (an object or system consisting of a diverse range of different items). An example of heterogeneous space, for instance, is Manhattan where complex and multiple social and technological conditions are overlaid. (This is to be contrasted with highly centralised and ordered Modernist cities.) With the onset of globalisation and the Web, heterogeneneous space, with its emphasis on differentiation, is more relevant to the contemporary condition, which encourages the mixing of space, than a much more static conception of Modernist space.

These cities experienced rapid development during the twentieth century, each offering its unique response to Modernism. Rather than merely providing a historical survey, this book uncovers the underlying logic of these cities’ urban fabric through an examination of their prevalent built heritage. Over four years, architects Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, together with teaching staff and students of architecture and design at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture, analyzed the featured structures to offer a wide-ranging array of original typological solutions for contemporary architecture and urban design.

This book is the first attempt at creating a working definition. Significant scholarship has already been presented about anti-colonial architecture, militant modernism, liberation architecture, and so forth, yet antifascist architecture is an avenue that remains to be explored. "Antifascist architecture" collects a kaleidoscope of diverse architects who heroically aligned themselves with antifascist struggles around the world. It is written for students and practitioners of architecture, but also activists and scholars in the social sciences who are interested in antifascist history, theory, and practice.

A profusely illustrated exploration of a previously neglected subject, this book is neither a polemic against dams nor a defence of their proliferation. It offers a fresh and much-needed account of their design, construction and function, which will appeal to dam engineers, environmentalists, historians and students, as well as those who previously recognized only The Dambusters march.

In 1960, as an art student in Uruguay, he was part of a collective of artists, students, and educators who reformed the School of Fine Arts in Montevideo. Today, this same ''ethical anarchist'' is still preoccupied with the role of education in redistributing power in society.(...)

With mischevious wit and wisdom, Camnitzer summons an inherent utopianism in egalitarian, participatory models of art education to identify how meaning is made. This anthology of writings, many published for the first time, gather a life's work in art, education, and activism.

With this book we aim to help art and design researchers, students, practitioners, and the multiple stakeholders they collaborate with, to explore what participatory ways of working in our contemporary urban environment entail. Six approaches are discussed: intervention, performative mapping, play, data mining, modelling in dialogue, and curating. Each approach offers a different kind of logic and produces a different type of knowledge. "Trading Places" invites the reader to discover common ground, explore new territories, and exchange points of view – in short, to trade perspectives on issues of participation.
