Summary:

"In different ways, all the contributors suggest how to understand the innovative possibilities and pitfalls of spatial practices--teasing, analyzing, and celebrating architecture's disciplinary ambiguity--with proposals that range from a "lo-res" architecture to one controlled by the curatorial impulse, from customizable "skins" on residential buildings to the collection of residual space for new uses. Their investigations encompass how to interpret, how to intervene, and how to imagine.
