Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This Architectural Design Journal focuses on how architectural skills are deployed in entertainment to communicate design and form the backdrops for stories to play out. It includes articles on installations, exhibition designs, entertainment architecture, narrative projects, speculations on future human identities, video gaming, and memorial tombs - an international plethora of staged examples of how architectural thinking can bring vitality to situations not usually perceived to be within the realms of traditional practice. The issue engages with popular culture, fictions, art, performance, technology, and architectural history and theory. Exploring the full spectrum of spatial propositions that architects can bring to staging events, the work featured is theatrical and exuberant, and the product of many collaborative architectural voices including curators, artists, performers, digital intelligences, fabricators, and writers.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A timely issue of Architectural Design that positions architecture's project as world-constructionFifty years ago, architects imagined worlds to come. Today, many have ceded the future to market logic, treating global capitalism as inevitable and reality as fixed. This issue of Architectural Design argues that when collective imagination falters, the utopian impulse returns--not as a blueprint for perfection, but as a vital means of reopening what can still be conceived and made. As planetary computation, climate instability and synthetic cognition converge, utopia becomes a tool for speculative world?building: a way to design new systems, realities and relationalities with the more-than-human. Contributors navigate this shifting terrain from a range of vantages--from those who embrace technological acceleration as an instrument of renewal to others whose address to futurity is aimed at resisting the exhausted capitalist logics of the present. Across these positions, utopia emerges as an operative framework for projecting alternative futures and expanding our sense of the possible. Here, architecture's task is not merely to shape space, but to construct worlds capacious enough to hold complexity--and to sustain coexistence amid crisis.Contributors include: Archigram, Adil Bokhari, Federico Campagna, Robert Cha, Jennifer Chen, John Cooper, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Krish Dittmer, Peter Eisenman & Michael Graves, Graham Harman, Damjan Jovanovic, Rem Koolhaas, Neil Leach, Elena Manferdini, Alina Nazmeeva, Antoine Picon, Carlo Ratti, Marco Santambrogio, Paulette Singley, Neil Spiller, Superstudio, Natasha Wanganeen, Andrew Witt, Rain Wu, Liam Young, Elia Zenghelis.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. New paradigms for climate-responsive architectureBiodesign is reshaping a millennia-old relationship between architecture and nature, shifting the field toward adaptive, collaborative modes of practice grounded in reciprocity and ecological responsibility. This issue of Architectural Design traces that shift from speculative metaphor to an operational design framework, arguing that architecture is undergoing a fundamental reorientation around living systems.Here, biology becomes collaborator, model and medium, rather than a passive resource to be extracted. Contributors propose an architecture that behaves metabolically--growing, digesting, adapting and decaying in concert with ecological cycles--positioning architects as cultivators of biological processes and regenerative material flows. Across living biocomposites, biodigital platforms and relational, biotic architectures, the issue advances an ethics, politics and aesthetics that decenter the human and conceive the built environment as continuous with, and accountable to, the ecologies it sustains.Contributors include: Rachel Armstrong, Phil Ayres, Richard Beckett, Beatriz Colomina, Marcos Cruz, Jonathan Dessi-Olive, Nancy Diniz, Joyce Hwang, Kyoung Hee Kim, Maria Kuptsova, Mae-ling Lokko, Frank Melendez, Paul Nicholas, Brenda Parker, Claudia Pasquero, Marco Poletto, Ronald Rael, Ehab Sayed, Milad Showkatbakhsh, Neil Spiller, Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, Michael Weinstock, Mark Wigley.

Gr.-8° Broschiert. Condition: Wie neu. 256 Seiten Buch ist neu, aus priv. Vorbesitz, ungelesen. -----Inhalt. In Search of African American Space untersucht die Beziehung zwischen der afrikanischen Diaspora in den Vereinigten Staaten und den räumlichen Praxen der Gegenwart aus verschiedenen kritischen Perspektiven, um einen transhistorischen Moment in der Zeit seit dem Ende der Sklaverei auszumachen. Das traditionelle Verständnis von Räumlichkeit wird hinterfragt, indem die Analyse sich fachübergreifend der Methoden aus Architektur, Performancekunst, Geschichte und visueller Theorie bedient. Bildgewaltig und thematisch strukturiert, gliedert sich die Anthologie in zwei Kapitel. Der erste Teil ist einem Aspekt der Praxis gewidmet, der ausserhalb des akademischen Rahmens stattfand. Es werden darin Werke von Architekten gezeigt, die wohl der ersten Generation angehören, die im neu entstehenden Diskurs der afrikanischen Diaspora gearbeitet haben. Sie kennen die Muster der Auflehnung, die aus Zeiten der Sklavenschiffe und -plantagen und der urbanen Slums rühren, und versuchen, kontemporäre afroamerikanische Kunst, Architektur und öffentliche Räume zu definieren, zu deuten und zu gestalten. Im zweiten Kapitel werden alltägliche Praktiken als Ausdruck von Kultur, Ästhetik und politischem Aktivismus verstanden und beschrieben. Die Umgestaltung von Raum gilt als Akt von Autonomie. In diesem Buch wird die afroamerikanische Auseinandersetzung mit Räumlichkeit sichtbar gemacht. Durch die Feststellung ihrer Abwesenheit, Negierung oder gar Auslöschung aus den Geschichtsbüchern werden die anhaltenden Auswirkungen der Sklaverei als unveränderlicher Teil des Alltags offenkundig.
