Résumé:
This book builds on conversations that took place in the Fall of 2024 at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design marking the release of the book ''Democracy and Urban Form'', a co-publication by Harvard Design Press and Sternberg Press. The original book showcased a series of six lectures that the sociologist Richard Sennett gave under the same name at the GSD in the fall of 1981. The original lectures, which happened more than forty years ago, addressed a much different political climate. Even so, Richard’s core insights into the connections between democracy and justice, matters of architecture and urban design, the growth of cities, cosmopolitanism, inclusion, free speech, and other related matters remain just as relevant today. In the spirit of reflecting on these urgencies, the GSD invited the political philosopher Michael Sandel to deliver a lecture that drew on themes from the new edition of his book ''Democracy’s Discontent''. In his opening talk, which took place on the evening of Wednesday, October 9, Sandel encouraged the audience to consider what might account for the polarization that imperils democracy today, as well as what might be done about it? Beyond analyzing the forces that were about to decide the 2024 election, he proposed a bold project of civic renewal to reimagine the economy and empower citizens as participants in a shared public life. On Thursday, October 10, these provocations continued during a panel discussion that included Richard Sennett, Diane Davis, Claire Zimmerman, Markus Miessen, and Miguel Robles-Durán. All reflected on Sandel’s talk, as well as on the state of democracy as it related more specifically to architecture and the design and planning of cities and metropolitan regions.

According to the authors, they can be read as «ten problems derived from the practice of architecture, from the practice of thinking about possible buildings for the future and from the practice of inhabiting buildings and imagining their possible causes or explanations to exist as they are, or as we think they are». Translated into Italian for the first time, the unpublished title refers to the capacity of architecture to be self-referential or a problem in itself, in other words; a meaningful artifact derived from human understanding for the ultimate purpose of human understanding.

Résumé:
Anarchitecture, a radical aesthetic practice of unmaking the built environment, staged a vigorous confrontation with urban renewal and gentrification projects in the 1970s. In Anarchitecture After Everything, Jack Halberstam identifies a powerful lexicon of transformation within anarchitecture, joining the movement’s practices of cutting and splitting with the destabilizing power of transness to detonate acts of formal violence in our time. "Anarchitecture" describes the aesthetic practice of splitting and cutting, dismantling and undoing, unmaking, unbuilding, and ultimately unworlding. The trans body splits bodily coherence, dismantles the gender binary, and unbuilds bodily meaning. In these chapters, Gordon Matta-Clark’s cuts, along with Alvin Baltrop’s 1970s images of collapsing warehouses and Beverly Buchanan’s post-demolition fragmentary sculptures, return with a vengeance through the contemporary aesthetic gestures of Yve Laris Cohen, Jesse Darling, Nicole Eisenman, Kiyan Williams, Cassils, boychild, and Every Ocean Hughes. Anarchitecture unmakes space and offers a new rhetoric for emptiness. In its conclusion, the book explores this rhetoric through Renee Gladman’s anarchitectural experiments with language.

Résumé:
The Berlin Wall divided the city for almost three decades before it fell on 9 November 1989. But this symbol of the Cold War has been travelling longer than it stood still. An object that once seemed immovable now wanders around the world in every format from two-tonne slabs to pocket-sized souvenirs. This collection envisions the atomized and displaced remnants of the Berlin Wall as a mobile ruin with an evolving history. Blake Fitzpatrick and Vid Ingelevics’s photographic investigation of the geographical dispersement of its fragments is a form of witness to the history of the wall after it fell.

Résumé:
''Paying Attention'' gathers nearly seventy of the best and varied examples of Lynne Tillman’s writings in reference to art and culture published over the course of forty years. In essays that operate outside typical categories or genres, Tillman reflects on forms including film, painting, photography, poetry, and fiction, as well as notions of fame, originality, embodied viewing and thinking, collective activity, aging, illness, American identity, cultural politics, modernity, strangeness, and time. Such is the stuff that relates art to life, and life to art. Collected mainly from museum and gallery catalogues, artists’ books and monographs, her column in ''Frieze'', and magazines including ''Aperture'' and ''Artforum'', these meditations on artists and writers, in the broadest sense of these labels, collide as a portrait of our cultural moment. Tillman’s inventive use of language and lateral thought, her ability to evoke conditions of the larger world in often just two thousand words on a specific artwork or individual, make her one of the most significant critics of our time. As she acknowledges, in a piece on the artist Robert Gober, “In writing on art, words reach for other words, phrases, idioms, and through them more images and ideas leap out.” In her introduction, Elizabeth Schambelan notes that a hallmark of Tillman’s writing alongside artists is an “elegant rendering of complexity,” and in approaching Tillman’s body of work and thought, Schambelan herself deftly imbricates the art, voice, and language of criticism.
