Hands Have No Tears to Flow
The primary topic of the book is the relationship between the human body and the architectural and urban spaces constructed for it. Identities flow between one subject and another as warmth in a heat exchanger. Is there anything similarly valid for architecture? Is it possible for architectural rules of buildings to be assigned to the inhabitants? Can inhabitants absorb the functionality buildings? Then, isn‘t the construction site the inhabitant rather than the building? Considering this, how will our stock of building components then develop? hands have no tears to flow... is a collection of commentaries, pictures and excerpts, quotations and constructs conceived around the human body. The book contains material by Ray und Charles Eames, Bernard Rudofsky, Friedrich Kiesler and other contributors. The design firm grafisches Büro is responsible for the bibliophilic design.

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 introduction outlines the history and percept...

Aesthetics of the Commons
What do a feminist server, an art space located in a public park in North London, a so-called pirate library of high cultural value yet dubious legal status, and an art school that emphasizes collectivity have in common? They all demonstrate that art plays an important role in imagining and producing a real quite different from what is currently hegemonic, and that art has the possibility to not only envision or proclaim ideas in theory, but also to realize them materially. Aesthetics of the Commons examines a series of artistic and cultural projects--drawn from what can loosely be called the (post)digital--that take up this challenge in different ways. What unites them, however, is that the...
