Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but this publication calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment.

Résumé:
Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but this publication calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment. With its provocative proposal for "the construction of disability," this book fundamentally reconsiders how we conceive of and experience disability in our world. Stressing the connection between architectural form and the capacities of the human body, David Gissen demonstrates how disability haunts the history and practice of architecture. Examining various historic sites, landscape designs, and urban spaces, he deconstructs the prevailing functionalist approach to accommodating disabled people in architecture and instead asserts that physical capacity is essential to the conception of all designed space.

Résumé:
The High Line, a new park atop an ele-vated rail structure on Manhattan’s West Side, is among the most innovative urban reclamation projects in memory. The story of how it came to be is a remarkable one: two young citizens with no prior experience in planning and development collaborated with their neighbors, elected officials, artists, local business owners, and leaders of burgeoning movements in horticulture and landscape architecture to create a park celebrated worldwide as a model for creatively designed, socially vibrant, ecologically sound public space. In this book, David and Hammond tell how they relied on skill, luck, and good timing: a crucial court ruling, an inspiring design contest, the enthusiasm of Mayor Bloomberg, the concern for urban planning issues following 9/11.

Robert Hewison traces Ruskin’s long and intricate relationship with the city. He shows how Ruskin shed his earlier Romantic vision of the city and developed a harder, clearer conception of neglected Gothic Venice through an intense study of the city's physical fabric that would change the international understanding of the city. Drawing on the rich resources of Ruskin’s drawings, architectural notebooks, and manuscripts, Hewison offers insights into both Ruskin and nineteenth-century Venice and reveals how Ruskin’s work and his connection with the city from youth to old age have helped to shape the image of the Venice we know today.

Résumé:
What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. 'On Being Included' explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. 'On Being Included' offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them.

By unearthing and presenting the large-scale project of building more than 350 cooperative centres that began 70 years ago, it reveals how these centres have seen changes in the political and economic system, taken on new uses, shaped local communities, and remain relevant today. A closer look at this history provides a better understanding of indoor public spaces as social infrastructure that fosters interaction, communication, and empowerment.

These many and various times do not merely exist in parallel with one another, simultaneously. Rather, they interconnect and are brought to bear on the same present, forming a sort of planetary present, and—at least in principle—a global sharing of time, although one not shared equally. Jacob Lund explores how the conditions for politically engaged art and aesthetic practice, for questioning the present, have changed in recent decades, while considering how our historical present and its temporal quality differ significantly from previous presents.

Famous for its transparency, the Philip Johnson Glass House--the icon of modernism that Vincent Scully called "the most conceptually important house of the century"--has nonetheless proven vexingly opaque to interpretation. Its architect, Philip Cortelyou Johnson, has been equally elusive, a polarizing and influential cultural figure on whom no psychological character study yet exists. In her new book, Adele Tutter addresses both enigmas. ''Dream House: An Intimate Portrait of the Philip Johnson Glass House'' reveals how this superficially nonrepresentational physical structure encodes aspects of its architect’s aspirations, motivations, and conflicts--how it acts as a veritable self-portrait of his inner world.

Underlying themes of Suter's practice are the "iconification" and "immunogenicity" of old images, and the circumstances by which they become charged with new associative values. "In my work, I collect groups of images based on various themes and characteristics, and I investigate how they can manipulate each other, depending on where and how they are placed. In the process of making this book, narrative lines unfolded before my eyes as I shifted images around."
