The Society of Interiors
The Society of Interiors discusses a variety of spatial practices which critique, reveal, and resist the economical logic of a neo-liberal market. A market that caters for exclusiveness and individualities, where public space becomes an interior, that is highly controlled and privatized. The different essays unpack, develop and expand a diversity of interior and spatial practices in urban contexts that allow for a diverse public, express differences, and create other experiences and situations. Authors include the architect and researcher Tatjana Schneider, editor of the publication Spatial Agency (Routledge 2011); the activist architect Petra Pferdmenges from alive architecture in Brussels, the architectural theorist Peter Lang; the architect and artist Tor Lindstrand; as well as Rochus Hinkel, whose research focuses on the intersections between interior, architecture and urban environments.
By Practice, by Invitation
Design Practice Research at RMIT University is a longstanding program of research into what venturous designers actually do when they design. It is probably the most enduring and sustained body of research of its kind: empirical, evidence-based and surfacing evidence about design practice. This first Pink Book documents some of its past achievements. It is probably the most enduring and sustained body of research of its kind: empirical, evidence-based and surfacing evidence about design practice. It is a growing force in the world, with a burgeoning program of research in Asia, Oceania and Europe. This book documents some of its past achievements. Two kinds of knowledge are created by the research. One concerns the ways in which designers marshal their intelligence, especially their spatial intelligence, to construct the mental space within which they practice design. The other reveals how public behaviours are invented and used to support design practice. This new knowledge combined is the contribution that this research makes to the field of design practice research.
CA²RE Berlin Proceedings: Conference for Artistic and Architectural (Doctoral) Research
The fourth CA²RE, the Conference for Artistic and Architectural (Doctoral) Research has been hosted in September 2018 at the Institute for Architecture of the Technische Universität Berlin, in association with the Architectural Research European Network Association (ARENA), the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE) and the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA). CA²RE intends to bring together senior staff and early-career researchers to improve research quality through an intensive peer review at key intermediate stages. It contributes to the diverse fields of architectural and artistic research such as environmental design, sustainable development, interior d...
Images of Illegalized Immigration
Illegalized immigration is a highly iconic topic. The public perception of the current regime for mobility is profoundly shaped by visual and verbal images. As the issue of illegalized immigration is gaining increasing political momentum, the authors feel it is a well-warranted undertaking to analyze the role of images in the creation of illegalization. Their aim is to trace the visual processes that produce these very categories. The authors aim to map out an iconography of illegalized immigration in relation to political, ethical, and aesthetic discourses. They discuss the need to project new images as well as the dangers of giving persons without legal papers an individual face. Illegalization is produced by law, but naturalized through the everyday use of images. The production of law, on the other hand, is also driven by both mental and materialized images. A critical iconology may help us to see these mechanisms.

The themes of this "Arcjitecture Annual" focuses on how the materials, design, construction and running of a building can affect the environment.
Participatiegolven
Kritische studie van participatieprocessen in architectuur, stedenbouw en ruimtelijke ordening ‘Participatie’ werd, in de nasleep van 1968, een sleutelwoord in architectuur, stedenbouw en ruimtelijke ordening in Vlaanderen en Brussel. Sindsdien zijn processen van medezeggenschap, inspraak en coproductie min of meer ingeburgerd in ontwerp- en planningspraktijken. Het enthousiasme voor deze processen is aan wisselende invloeden onderhevig en participatie staat dus lang niet altijd centraal in de feitelijke beslissingsstromen. Dit boek documenteert deze golfbewegingen aan de hand van historische overzichten, gevalstudies, interviews en kritische reflecties. Daarbij wordt nagedacht over de r...
Living Politics in the City
Public space and performativity from the perspective of architecture In recent decades, architecture has been seen as a field of practice that contributes greatly to the performativity of public space. In spite of the explosion of virtual communities through social media and the limitations imposed by pandemics, architecture today still holds an active role in (literally) building our societies. Bearing in mind its acute politicisation in past years, Living Politics in the City looks at public space from the perspective of architecture and its effective contribution, not as a prop but as an actual catalyst for embodying politics. The essays gathered here span five continents, activating vari...
Wer gestaltet die Gestaltung?
Das Interesse an einer gleichberechtigten Teilhabe im Design hat von den 1960er-Jahren bis in die Gegenwart zu einer Reihe produktiver Gestaltungspraktiken und Theorien geführt. Heute stellt sich jedoch die Frage, ob das Leitbild der partizipatorischen Gestaltung nicht auf einem idealisierenden Verständnis von Demokratie und sozialer Beteiligung gründet. Der Band unternimmt eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme der partizipatorischen Gestaltung, ihrer Entwicklung und der gegenwärtigen Theoriebildung. Die Beiträge, u.a. von Gilbert Cockton, Pelle Ehn, Jesko Fezer, Richard Herriott, Claudia Mareis und Elizabeth Sanders, prüfen den Stellenwert von Partizipation in der praxisbasierten Designforschung und fragen kurzum: Wer gestaltet die Gestaltung?
Founding Alive Architecture. From Built Space to Lived Space
Petra Pferdmenges is een van de pioniers in Europa op het vlak van "practice research" in het domein van architectuur en stedenbouw. Haar praktijk speelt zich groten deels af in fragiele buurten in Brussel en pendelt voortdurend tussen bottom-up en top-down stedelijke projecten. Haar strategie bestaat erin de lokale bevolking te stimuleren om de heropleving van de buurt in eigen handen te nemen. De publicatie geeft als in een soort "Bildungsroman" een beeld van hoe haar praktijk tot stand is gekomen: van het meer klassieke ontwerp van de publieke ruimte naar een rol als curator van diverse actoren in de publieke ruimte.
