Radical Pedagogies
Experiments in architectural education in the post–World War II era that challenged and transformed architectural discourse and practice. In the decades after World War II, new forms of learning transformed architectural education. These radical experiments sought to upend disciplinary foundations and conventional assumptions about the nature of architecture as much as they challenged modernist and colonial norms, decentered building, imagined new roles for the architect, and envisioned participatory forms of practice. Although many of the experimental programs were subsequently abandoned, terminated, or assimilated, they nevertheless helped shape and in some sense define architectural dis...

Dieses Buch nähert sich Architekturmodellen nicht als starre Objekte, sondern als Anstoß für die Frage: Was genau ist eigentlich ein Modell? Wann im Entwurfsprozess entfaltet ein Modell seine Kräfte oder erfüllt seine Aufgaben? 30 Essays geben Antworten auf neun gezielte Fragen, verflechten disziplinäre, geografische und wissenschaftliche Perspektiven und fördern dabei überraschende Gemeinsamkeiten zu Tage.

Are You a Model? erkundet das Modell als Phänomen und Werkzeug der Architektur, ohne nach abschließenden Antworten zu s...
Building Institution
»Building Institution« chronicles the expansion of architecture as a profession and discipline in the postmodern era. Kim Förster traces the compelling history of the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, which was active in New York from 1967 to 1985. Drawing on extensive archival research and oral histories, he constructs a collective biography that details the Institute's diverse roles and the dynamic interplay between research and design, education, culture, and publishing. By exploring the transformation of cultural production into a practice as well as the culturalization and global postmodernization of architecture, the volume contributes significantly to the institutional history of architecture.
