The World as an Architectural Project
Architects imagine the planet: fifty speculative world-scale projects from Patrick Geddes, Alison and Peter Smithson, Kiyonori Kikutake, Juan Navarro Baldeweg, Luc Deleu, and others. The world's growing vulnerability to planet-sized risks invites action on a global scale. The World as an Architectural Project shows how for more than a century architects have imagined the future of the planet through world-scale projects. With fifty speculative projects by Patrick Geddes, Alison and Peter Smithson, Kiyonori Kikutake, Saverio Muratori, Takis Zenetos, Sergio Bernardes, Juan Navarro Baldeweg, Luc Deleu, and many others, documented in text and images, this ambitious and wide-ranging book is the f...
Biennale Architettura 2021
The official catalog for the 17th International Architecture Exhibition asks: how will we live together? The official catalog for the 17th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia consists of two volumes: the first is dedicated to the International Exhibition curated by Hashim Sarkis and the second presents the National Participations and Collateral Events. "How will we live together?" is as much a social and political question as a spatial one: rapidly changing social norms, growing political polarization, climate change and vast global inequalities are making us ask it more urgently than before. In parallel, the weakness of today's political models compels us to look at how architecture shapes inhabitation and community. The architects invited to participate in the Biennale Architettura 2021 are encouraged to include other professions and constituencies--artists, builders and craftspeople, but also politicians, journalists, social scientists and everyday citizens. In effect, the Biennale asserts the vital role of the architect as both cordial convener and custodian of the spatial contract.

Expansions
A companion to the Biennale Architettura 2021 catalog, gathering over 80 responses to the question: how will we live together? A complement to the Biennale Architettura 2021 catalog, Expansions gathers over 80 responses to the question: how will we live together? It acts as an extension to the various themes presented by participants in the exhibition. Assembling the voices and views of different agents from the architecture field--from academics to curators, journalists, students and more--this volume includes a collection of short essays that reveal recurring themes that are currently of interest to different architecture and design communities around the world. These include multispecies worlding, social and economic justice, the history of 20th-century modern spatial practices, environmental concerns and public modes of transportation, as well as examinations and contestations of the digital/analog binary, among others. This volume appeals to a wide range of people beyond architecture and art communities, encompassing anyone interested in the role of creative practice and expression in collectively answering the complex challenges posed by today's unstable world.

Cohabitats
