Neglected Dimensions

Paul CarterHow public space is produced is one of the great enigmas of democratic society.

Sketches for Public Space Paul Carter How public space is produced is one of the great enigmas of democratic society. Paul Carter’s innovative concept of spatial history, his theory and practice of material thinking and, more recently, his account of public space design as choreotopography have been internationally influential in promoting new postcolonial planning discourses and design ecologies. Neglected Dimensions is the first publication of the drawing practice that underwrites his analysis of public space dynamics. Carter’s description of public space as a continuous entanglement of trajectories, experienced multi-modally (discursively, kinetically, mimetically) is the fruit of a public art experience that has encompassed Olympic Games commissions, major urban design (Federation Square, Melbourne) and significant Aboriginal co-design engagement. It also reflects Carter’s subject position as a migrant where ‘the ground is not given’: the local improvisation of meeting protocols applies wherever hyperdiversity complicates finding common ground. The graphic DNA articulating this trajectory of

To celebrate the twenty-five years Han Nefkens has been an activist in the art world, the Foundation has invited twenty-five international writers and poets to write a piece inspired by one of the videos the Foundation has produced. Many of these writers had not looked at video art before and some were not familiar with

Knowing and Unknowing- Louise Wright and Mauro Baracco

Knowing and Unknowing

Mauro Baracco, Louise WrightThis book documents the artworks of the exhibition Repair, Australian Pavilion, 16th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia 2018

The lives of Repair Mauro Baracco & Louise Wright with Linda Tegg The exhibition invites you to look anew at a plant community that has been overlooked as a site only for human use, to the extent that there is only 1% now left and to reflect on the ground, what it supports, what is displaced. As presented through our premier cultural institution, La Biennale di Venezia, this exhibition will live on through seed the authors of this investigation have already started to collect and through relationships they are building with research institutes in Europe.

Ambiguous Territory

Ambiguous Territory

Cathryn Dwyre, Chris Perry, David Salomon, Kathy Velikov (eds.)Ambiguous Territory brings together the work of over forty architects, landscape architects, artists, and historians engaged in an exploration of art and design

Architecture, Landscape and the Postnatural Cathryn Dwyre, Chris Perry, David Salomon, Kathy Velikov (eds.) The writers and designers in this collection are among the most thoughtful architects, artists, landscape architects, and theorists working today. The editors organized these essays and works of art and design around three territories: the atmospheric, the biologic, and the geologic. Each cluster of essays is further framed by forewords and afterwords, which draw individual points of view into a larger articulation of what an ambiguous territory might be and how it operates. Ambiguous Territory emerged from a symposium and exhibition held at the University of Michigan in the fall of 2017, and exhibitions at the University of Virginia and Pratt Manhattan Gallery in 2018, and at Ithaca College in 2019. The conversations that arise in this book are inquisitive and critically engaged. They pressure assumptions we routinely make about what constitutes meaningful and principled perspectives in architecture,

Responsive Environments

Allen Sayegh, Stefano AndreaniThe entanglement of physical contexts with digital environments is constantly changing our relationship with the surrounding space and creating new hybrid experiences.

An Interdisciplinary Manifesto on Design, Technology and the Human Experience Allen Sayegh, Stefano Andreani, Matteo Kalchschmidt What makes an environment "responsive"? This book provides some key concepts in the form of a design manifesto. Critically articulated from the perspective of leading experts, scholars and professionals, the ideas explored are unpacked through speculative urban visions and design projects at different timeframes, contexts and scales ranging from interactive artifacts to augmented cities. Drawing from a multiyear research at the REAL Lab at Harvard GSD and design work by INVIVIA and other innovative practices, the book unfolds the experiential facets of our technologically-mediated relationship with space in the fields of architecture and urbanism, design and art. With the collaboration of the Harvard REAL Lab. EBOOK VERSION
