Beyond The Threshold. Women, Houses, Cities
Zaida Muxí?s ?Beyond the Threshold? is a revised account of the history of architecture and urban planning through the contributions of the women who have been silenced in our general histories. With the built environment as its frame of reference, the book explores topics from design to politics, examining both the house and the city, the private and the public. As in other areas of knowledge, the arts, science, and politics, women have been and are still not represented on equal terms, or even fairly, based on equal merits. For this reason it is crucial to revisit and deconstruct the dominant historiography of architecture and cities, rewriting it with women as its protagonists.
Urbanismo Regenerativo
We are living in a critical moment, a reality marked by environmental and socio-economic limits that requires innovative and realistic forms of action and planning. This is what regenerative urbanism proposes, a new approach based on utopian pragmatism that seeks to restore balance to the urban territory by designing systems that allow it to adapt and transform. It is a methodology that defines models that do not consume available resources, but rather generate new ones that ensure compatibility between economic and social prosperity and nature. Santander, Hábitat Futuro (Santander, Future Habitat) is the city model created from this methodology, a proposal for the transformation of this ci...

Urban Labyrinths
Urban Labyrinths: Informal Settlements, Architecture, and Social Change in Latin America examines intervention initiatives in informal settlements in Latin American cities as social, spatial, architectural, and cultural processes. From the mid-20th century to the present, Latin America and other regions in the Global South have experienced a remarkable demographic trend, with millions of people moving from rural areas to cities in search of work, healthcare, and education. Without other options, these migrants have created self-built settlements mostly located on the periphery of large metropolitan areas. While the initial reaction of governments was to eliminate these communities, since the...

Mulheres, casas e cidades
Zaida Muxí repassa neste livro o papel histórico das mulheres na produção e no pensamento da arquitetura e do urbanismo. E reflete sobre como essa presença – e sobretudo, a ausência recorrente da perspectiva feminina – impacta nos espaços em que vivemos. Do desenho à política urbana e habitacional e ao debate de novas ideias, o livro trata a casa e a cidade como representações das esferas privada e pública. A casa como metáfora da arquitetura, a cidade como síntese das ações humanas. Discutir sob o ponto de vista feminino implica a desconstrução da historiografia oficial, desvendando a falsa universalidade da transmissão de conhecimentos e da construção de relatos históricos. Como em outros âmbitos do saber, das artes, da ciência e da política, as mulheres não se encontram em condição de igualdade, nem sequer representadas em ordem de igualdade por mérito. Por isso, é necessário revisitar a história da arquitetura e das cidades para reescrevê-la, agora com seu protagonismo definitivo.
Tradição e modernidade no móvel brasileiro
Cecilia Loschiavo é uma autoridade reconhecida nacional e internacionalmente no estudo da herança do design modernista brasileiro. Seu livro Móvel moderno no Brasil, publicado em 1994, fundamentou o processo de compreensão e reavaliação da produção do período, ocorrido especialmente a partir da década seguinte. Neste novo livro, baseado em sua tese de doutorado, ela discute, através das trajetórias de Sergio Rodrigues, Joaquim Tenreiro, Celso Martinez Carrera e José Zanine Caldas, o encontro entre tradição e modernidade em um país que buscava a consolidação de sua industrialização no século XX, e o quanto essas contribuições foram vitais para a identidade criativa bras...
Déconfiner l'Europe
L’épidémie de la Covid-19 a balayé le monde à une vitesse vertigineuse, résultat de profondes interconnexions. La catastrophe provoquée par la Covid-19 constitue une épreuve existentielle pour l’Europe. En effet, elle est apparue comme un catalyseur anthropologique capable à la fois de mettre en évidence les structures et les imaginaires profonds de nos sociétés. Les confinements ont révélé et ont amplifié des vacuités et des inflexions sociétales sur le long terme. De fait, les politiques publiques ne sont pas seulement fondées sur la « science » et les données factuelles. Elles reposent également sur des choix politiques qui découlent de visions du monde et de hi...
Adaptive Reuse in Latin America
This book seeks to explore the theoretical and architectural connections between memory, values, cultural identity, and adaptive reuse in Latin America. It does so by critically analyzing ideas and works within the context from where they emerge. With rich and layered historic centers, a wealth of colonial and 19th-century buildings, and the heritage from the modern era, Latin America offers a unique architectural patrimony and its contribution and impact on contemporary culture and architecture still require critical study and discussion. The chapters of this timely book consider the conflicted relationship between colonialism, native cultures, and immigration. It also explores the connecti...
