Résumé:
How design can transcend the logics, structures, and subjectivities of capitalism: a framework, theoretical grounding, and practical principles. The designed things, experiences, and symbols that we use to perceive, understand, and perform our everyday lives are much more than just props. They directly shape how we live. In ''Design after capitalism,'' Matthew Wizinsky argues that the world of industrial capitalism that gave birth to modern design has been dramatically transformed. Design today needs to reorient itself toward deliberate transitions of everyday politics, social relations, and economies. Looking at design through the lens of political economy, Wizinsky calls for the field to transcend the logics, structures, and subjectivities of capitalism—to combine design entrepreneurship with social empowerment in order to facilitate new ways of producing those things, symbols, and experiences that make up everyday life.

Résumé:
With today's ecological imperatives, contemporary architecture faces its greatest challenges since Modernism. In 2009, Denmark hosted an international summit on climate and sustainability. The Louisiana Museum is supporting this event with a major exhibition, The Future Has Arrived: Architecture for a Sustainable World, the second show in the series The Frontiers of Architecture. This exhibition catalogue presents a spectrum of new visions for sustainable global development, based upon the three parameters of economy, environment and social change, with essays by German architect Wilfried Wang, Danish philosopher Ole Thyssen and interviews with Ecosistema Urbano, Foster & Partners, Philippe Rahm and R(n).

Résumé:
Sited on the coastal edge of the Bay of Bengal, Golconde, a dormitory for the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India, was designed by architects Antonin Raymond and George Nakashima. Golconde is a remarkable architectural edifice, seamlessly negotiating between the tenets of early modernist architecture while addressing the pragmatic impositions of a tropical context. Espousing radical economy and uncompromising construction standards, it proposes environmental sensitivity as a foundation for the design process. Completed in 1942, Golconde was the first reinforced, cast-in-place concrete building in India and celebrates the modernist credo: architecture as the manifest union of aesthetics, technology, and social reform.

Résumé:
Reinhold Martin’s Mediators is a series of linked meditations on the globalized city. Focusing on infrastructural, technical, and social systems, Martin explores how the aesthetics and the political economy of cities overlap and interact. He discusses a range of subjects, including the architecture of finance written into urban policy, regimes of enumeration that remix city and country, fictional ecologies that rewrite biopolitics, the ruins of socialism strewn amid the transnational commons, and memories of revolution stored in everyday urban hardware. For Martin, these mediators—the objects, processes, and imaginaries from which these phenomena emerge—serve to explain disparate fragments of a global urbanity.

In Saxony-Anhalt, the International Building Exhibition (IBA)Urban Redevelopment 2010 is developing projects and strategies to open up new perspectives for cities through concentration on special economic areas and on particular cultural, social and civic skills. This volume compares IBA cities with other European cities with regard to the knowledge-based economy, culture and health care, and specifically examines strategies, political practices and the cities futre prospects. Experts analyse the three sectors, the perspectives and the constantly changing challenges that these cities have to respond to.

Résumé:
Rejecting outdated paradigms of endless linear growth, technocratic fixes, and the separation of humans from nature, '‘Architecture Is Climate’' argues that architecture must be fundamentally rethought – not as the design of objects, but as a practice entangled with climate, politics, history, and social justice. Through eight key themes (knowledge, economy, land, resources, infrastructure, work, policy, and culture) it explores how climate breakdown reshapes every aspect of architectural thinking and doing. Drawing on diverse voices and grounded examples from around the world, it offers a critique but also a vision of other possible architectures already in the making.

Résumé:
Between 1977 and 1987, a sluggish world economy that all but curtailed new building moved the most talented architects into teaching positions. In the academic environment, graphic experimentation proliferated and architects encountered an intellectual scene filled with passionate debates about philosophy, criticism, and social thought. This set the stage for an eruption of "paper architecture" of incomparable beauty and depth. Perfect Acts of Architecture identifies the preeminent achievements of five architects working during that turbulent period: Peter Eisenman, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Thom Mayne, and Bernard Tschumi. Catalogue of the exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

Résumé:
At a time marked by the climate crisis and violent conflicts, an increasing number of architects are turning to impermanence and adaptability to show an alternate path to tackle the fragility and scarcity affecting our planet. Counter to the neoliberal appetite for abundance and the delirium of indefinite growth, this issue explores the relationship between nature and economy. It examines the social construction of scarcity, finding in certain communities signs of resilience and adaptative intelligence. Case studies in Thailand, India, Iran, Rwanda, Niger, Colombia, and Ecuador serve to illuminate this new path. Also in this issue, an interview with Mexican architect Fernanda Canales.

Résumé:
New approaches in architecture reveal a trend towards “upcycling”. Yet the history of building has also always been a history of recycled and upcycled building materials and components, as well as of building knowledge and styles. Comprehending buildings as part of a process of social change poses a challenge to our modern concept of unambiguity, seclusion, and authorship in architecture. This volume explores the potential of historical concepts of upcycling, and confronts them with new developments in architectural and building practice. Rather than a matter of idealism, recycling and upcycling present an argument for economy and the quality of structure and design.

Résumé:
Completed between 1989 and 1995, ''Fish Story'' saw Allan Sekula's career-long pursuit of a contemporary 'critical realism' reach its most complex articulation. ''Fish Story'' reconstructed a realist model of photographic representation, while taking a critical stance towards traditional documentary photography. It also marked Sekula's ?rst sustained exploration of the ocean as a key space of globalisation. A key issue in ''Fish Story'' is the connection between containerized cargo movement and the growing internationalization of the world industrial economy, with its effects on the actual social space of ports. This new edition of the long out-of-print seminal publication includes a new introduction by Professor Laleh Khalili (SOAS University).
