Acting in Public
Mountain hiking in the ruins of Berlin's Palast der Republik, former home of the East German parliament; building a hotel in an abandoned prefab high-rise; creating an architectural sculpture in an allotment garden... For the last 10 years the radical, utopian Berlin-based interdisciplinary team raumlaborberlin has been carrying out sensational interventions and activities that shape a new perception of architecture--acting in public in order to force the questioning of public and private space and activities. In this galvanizing and well designed volume, a conversation on design processes and working methods within raumlabor complements detailed presentations of the group's most important projects while an illustrated index introduces 72 projects in text and image. The firm's objective is to attract attention to alternative strategies of urban renewal and urban planning and to encourage residents to become involved in shaping their own living environments: We call on people to get involved, we want to show them that becoming part of urban processes is worth the risk.

The Modern Period

In the early twentieth century women typically used homemade cloth "diapers" to absorb menstrual blood, avoided chills during their periods to protect their health, and counted themselves lucky if they knew something about menstruation before menarche. New expectations at school, at play, and in the workplace, however, made these menstrual traditions problematic, and middle-class women quickly sought new information and ...
