Summary:
The question of what heritage is and how we deal with it is not a neutral one. Recent events such as the Black Lives Matter movement and the toppling of monuments have made evident how much the colonial past is inscribed in our built environment; at the same time, colonialism affects memorialization and historiography. Hence, those involved in architectural history are(...)

Summary:
The question of what heritage is and how we deal with it is not a neutral one. Recent events such as the Black Lives Matter movement and the toppling of monuments have made evident how much the colonial past is inscribed in our built environment; at the same time, colonialism affects memorialization and historiography. Hence, those involved in architectural history are challenged to re-consider their positionality. Whose heritage are colonial sites? Which conflicting memories are attached to them? How are archives and material evidence reassessed to bring forward the stories of marginalized subjects? Following the call for decolonization, this volume explores historical methodologies and shows the entanglement of narratives at architectural sites, bringing together archaeology, architectural history, and heritage studies.

Summary:
Lurking under the surface of our modern world lies an unseen architecture—or anarchitecture. It is a possible architecture, an analogous architecture, an architecture of anarchy, which haunts in the form of monsters that are humans and machines and cities all at once; or takes the form of explosions, veils, queer, playful spaces, or visions from artwork and video games.(...)

Summary:
Lurking under the surface of our modern world lies an unseen architecture—or anarchitecture. It is a possible architecture, an analogous architecture, an architecture of anarchy, which haunts in the form of monsters that are humans and machines and cities all at once; or takes the form of explosions, veils, queer, playful spaces, or visions from artwork and video games. In The Monster Leviathan, Aaron Betsky traces anarchitecture through texts, design, and art of the twentieth and early twenty-first century, and suggests that these ephemeral evocations are concrete proposals in and of themselves. Neither working models nor suggestions for new forms, they are scenes just believable enough to convince us they exist, or just fantastical enough to open our eyes.

Thomas examines abstract financial ideas, political ideology, and invisible markets as concrete realities; working on four spatial scales—city, street, facade, and interior—the book explores the grand plans, hidden alleys, neo-Georgian elevations, and sweaty dealing floors that have made the financial center work.

Summary:
Ce manifeste, à la croisée de l’architecture, de l’esthétique et de l’ingénierie, appelle à réactiver le sens pratique de la décoration d'intérieur, tel qu’il existait avant le XXe siècle. Les fonctions climatiques des tapis, tapisseries, rideaux, miroirs ou paravents ont été oubliées avec la modernité. Ces objets ont été réduits à leur seule dimension symbolique par l’efficacité des dispositifs énergivores de chauffage ou de climatisation. La nécessité de réduire aujourd’hui les émissions de CO2 et l’énergie consommée, ainsi que la lutte contre les canicules appellent à reprendre en compte la valeur thermique de l’art décoratif du passé, à repenser les modes d’aménagement intérieur, leurs configurations spatiales, formelles et matérielles dans une nouvelle optique de performance climatique : une esthétique décorative propre au XXIe siècle que nous proposons de nommer le « style anthropocène ».

Summary:
Conception and birth, growth and maturity, aging and death--these are important moments in the human life story. They are also stages in the existence of a building, says the author of this unconventional history of the rituals and practices that surround built structures in America. Drawing on sources as varied as Masonic manuals, promotional brochures, janitorial contracts, tourist guidebooks, and religious texts, cultural historian Neil Harris explores the rites of building passage over the past one hundred and fifty years. In this generously illustrated volume, he offers fascinating new insights into the social and cultural roles of buildings. This book suggests that architecture is a performing art as well as a fine art. Harris provides entertaining accounts of building introductions and presentations; celebrations, including groundbreakings, cornerstone layings, dedication ceremonies, and milestone anniversaries; efforts by builders, designers, real estate agents, photographers, and users to endow buildings with personality; debates over the naming of buildings; and attempts to document the erection and aging of buildings. Harris details recent strenuous efforts to prolong building life and vitality, and the increasing concern over "sick" and endangered buildings. Observing the difficulty that people experience in saying goodbye to old buildings that feel like friends, he calls for ceremony to mark the end as well as the beginning of a building's life.

Summary:
To concentrate only on the profession of architecture is to ignore the much larger field of architecture, which structures the entire social universe of the architect and of which architects are only one part. This book critically surveys that field, exposing many myths and debunking a number of heroes in the process. Using the conceptual apparatus of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, Stevens describes the field of architecture on two levels. First, he provides a detailed account of the field as it is at any given point in time, describing the different components and their relationships. Second, he analyzes the dynamics of the field through time, from the Renaissance to the present. He discusses the system of architectural education, as well as everyday aspects such as the competition for reputation. He concludes that throughout history, the most eminent architects have been connected to each other by master-pupil and collegiate relations. These networks, which still exist, provide a mechanism for architectural influence that runs parallel to that of the university-based schools.

Summary:
"BorderLine" highlights a particularly troubled site in Europe, the town and harbor of Kraljevica, just south of Rijeka, Croatia, where the failing ship-building industry and pollution from a large oil refinery threaten both the ecology and the prospects of tourism. Drawing on the results of a workshop organized, funded and conducted by the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RIEA) in the Frankopan Castle in Kraljevica, "BorderLine" presents essays and projects by leading thinkers and architects addressing the contemporary problems such regions have within rapidly evolving European and global landscapes. "BorderLine" includes essays by Lebbeus Woods, Gabriela Seifert, Manuel Delanda, Aleksandra Wagner, Heinz Foerster, and Ekkehard Rehfeld; it also includes architectural projects and conceptual proposals by Lebbeus Woods, Peter Cook, Will Alsop, Per Kartredt, Masihiko Yendo, and Guy Lafranchi . This title is the first in the RIEAconcepts series, edited by Lebbeus Woods. These books will present innovative research and experimental projects initiated and implemented by both RIEA and individual architects.
