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,

Master in Integrated Architectural Design 2020/21 Ricardo Devesa & Marta Bugés (eds.) This collection of instalments compiles the works of the students of the Master in Integrated Architectural Design during the academic year 2020/21. The program objectives are to promote innovative architectural design integrated with the wide range of skills on technical and cultural knowledge that contemporary architecture demands. The course is organized in 5 logics: environmental, social, digital, tectonic and cultural through which the students explore how architectural design can adapt to the context in which they operate. Their systems of methods and principles are expanded to face challenges such as climate change, technological disruptions, economic and geopolitical collapses, and demographic movements, among other major global changes. With Contributions of Kiel Moe, Interboro, Ciro Najle, bosch.capdeferro, Marina Otero, T.J. Demos, Ferran Vizoso, Javier García-Germán, Alex Ivancic, Pau Bajet, María Langarita, Carles Baiges, Cristina Gamboa, Anna Font, Edouard Cabay, David Tàpies, Francisco Cifuentes, Arturo Franco,

Organised in a series of thematic sections that emerged from the AA Files Issue 76 Glossary, each 'file' contains two or more contributions that explore a common keyword constructing a dialogue between a heterogeneous set of authors with the aim to reframe architecture as a critical point of entry through which the most urgent social and environmental questions of today can be addressed.
