Architects After Architecture
What can you do with a degree in architecture? Where might it take you? What kind of challenges could you address? Architects After Architecture reframes architecture as a uniquely versatile way of acting on the world, far beyond that of designing buildings. In this volume, we meet forty practitioners through profiles, case studies, and interviews, who have used their architectural training in new and resourceful ways to tackle the climate crisis, work with refugees, advocate for diversity, start tech companies, become leading museum curators, tackle homelessness, draft public policy, become developers, design videogames, shape public discourse, and much more. Together, they describe a future of architecture that is diverse and engaged, expanding the limits of the discipline, and offering new paths forward in times of crisis. Whether you are an architecture student or a practicing architect considering a change, you’ll find this an encouraging and inspiring read.

Architectural and Urban Reflections after Deleuze and Guattari
The post humanist movement which currently traverses various disciplines in the arts and humanities, as well as the role that the thought of Deleuze and Guattari has had in the course of this movement, has given rise to new practices in architecture and urban theory. This interdisciplinary volume brings together architects, urban designers and planners, and asks them to reflect and report on the (built) place and the city to come in the wake of Deleuze and Guattari.
Feminist Practices
Brown (Syracuse U.) explains that this book started first as an exhibition that traveled to many schools of architecture in the US and Australia as a means of raising awareness about "...ways feminist methodologies impact design and our relationship to the built environment." She initially conceived the project after working as an architect in New York and observing that despite the large percentages of women in architecture school, a much smaller percentage become practitioners (and the statistics are worse for minorities). The volume consists of 19 lively contributions offering examples of work and approaches that incorporate feminist influences. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Altering Practices
This collection of essays addresses and defines the state of contemporary theories and practices of space: it is concerned with the growing importance of technology and communications, the effects of globalization and the change of social demands. Within the current urban and geopolitical contexts, it addresses the emergence of new social and political theories that raise questions of identity and difference in modern society. The book reiterates feminist concerns with space from the critical stance of the new millennium. With contributions from the leading theorists and thinkers from around the world representing the fields of architecture, art, philosophy and gender studies, this book has a truly international and interdisciplinary reach.

人造地獄：參與式藝術與觀看者政治學
由藝術家策劃、群眾來協作 人類對社會系統、存在境遇的另類對峙 一條必須深刻檢視的特殊取徑 參與式藝術對參與者以及觀看者傳達在日常生活裡被壓抑的種種弔詭， 並誘發出變態的、讓人不安的、愉悅的經驗，讓我們得以重新想像世界以及我們的各種關係。 它既是世界裡的一個事件，同時也脫離世界。 自從1990年代以來，評論家和策展人大抵上都認為，參與式藝術究其極是個政治藝術：他們鼓勵觀眾和藝術家合作，而促進新的解放式社會關係。在世界各地，這種表現形式的捍衛者不可勝數，從諸如格蘭．凱斯特之流的史...
Noblesse Workshop on Non-Linear Model Based Image Analysis
This book contains papers presented at the Noblesse Workshop on Non-linear model based image analysis held in Glasgow, 1-3 July 1998. Current models have mainly been developed for image coding purposes. They are rather simple and far away from being optimal and do not contribute to more complex tasks like those needed in image databases. This book meets the challenging tasks in multimedia applications by discussing new sophisticated model-based schemes for a high-level description of images and image sequences. Novel results are covered in the papers presented in this book, opening new potential fields of application like the support for building databases in multimedia applications, image archiving and image sequence coding, including such topics as:- 3D Image Models; Image/Video Restoration; Segmentation and Object Oriented Coding; Colour Image Processing; Database Retrieval; Image Models; Video Pre- and Post processing.
