Synopsis
Our contemporary condition, governed by the abstract capitalist market, demands a critical reading of the distribution, ownership, and use of common resources such as land. This is especially true in Britain with its long history of privatization stemming from land enclosure. The latest research campaign of Laboratory Basel (laba), a satellite studio of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, investigated the English manor house and how it can serve as a testing ground to reassess Britain’s complex and ongoing relationship with the countryside. Southwest England is the most rural region of one of the more densely populated countries in Europe. It reflects all the absurdities of a globalized country under pressure to develop economically, physically, and environmentally. Highly protected landscapes, both natural and composed, form the backdrop to historic seats of political power and wealth, while sites of intense modern productivity are neatly concealed behind natural veils.
Manor Lessons, the concluding volume of laba’s Teaching and Research in Architecture series, explores the lessons that can be learned from the history of the manorial system, whose forgotten feudalistic origins were once rooted in the idea of the land not as private property, but as common ground.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Unsere heutige Situation, die vom abstrakten kapitalistischen Markt bestimmt wird, erfordert eine kritische Hinterfragung der Verteilung, des Besitzes und der Nutzung von gemeinsamen Ressourcen wie beispielsweise dem Boden. Dies zeigt sich insbesondere in Grossbritannien mit seiner langen Geschichte der Privatisierung von Allmenden durch Einhegung (enclosures). Die heute weitgehend vergessenen Wurzeln des englischen Gutsherrensystems zeichneten sich durch eine komplexe Wechselbeziehung von Privateigentum und gleichzeitiger Ausrichtung auf das Gemeinwohl aus. Im ausgeprägt ländlichen Südwesten dieses im Übrigen dicht besiedelten Landes spiegeln sich jedoch die Absurditäten eines globalisierten Landes, das unter dem Druck steht, sich wirtschaftlich, politisch und ökologisch weiterzuentwickeln, und dabei zugleich durch den strengen Schutz grosser Landflächen stark behindert wird. Im Rahmen seines jüngsten Forschungsprojekts hat das 2011-2020 aktive Laboratoaire Bâle (laba) der EPFL in Lausanne erforscht, was die Lektionen des Manorialism sein könnten, dessen Ursprünge einst in der Vorstellung vom Land nicht als Privateigentum, sondern als gemeinsames Gut verwurzelt waren. Die Ergebnisse der Recherche werden im abschliessenden Band der Reihe Teaching and Research in Architecture präsentiert, wiederum reich illustriert mit informativen Karten und Grafiken sowie atmosphärischen Fotos. Abgerundet wird das Buch mit Vorschlägen für architektonische Interventionen, die von Studierenden des laba erarbeitet wurden. Seller Inventory # 9783038601968
