Portals: Pedagogy, Practice, and Architecture’s Future Imaginary considers the COVID-19 pandemic and the remote pedagogy it occasioned globally in schools of architecture, as a critical threshold to future architectural pedagogy, practice, and spatial imaginaries. Given that the conceit of a “return to normal” is neither desirable nor possible, this book speculates upon possible futures for the discipline of architecture, through the lens of the Thesis and Directed Research projects of the RISD Architecture class of 2020. This book documents an interregnum, a pause, a moment of self-reflection in which architects, imperiled by the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the forms of inequity that...
A particular history of how encounters between architects and people with disabilities transformed modern culture. Window Shopping with Helen Keller recovers a series of influential moments when architects and designers engaged the embodied experiences of people with disabilities. David Serlin reveals how people with sensory and physical impairments navigated urban spaces and helped to shape modern culture. Through four case studies—the lives of Joseph Merrick (aka “The Elephant Man”) and Helen Keller, the projects of the Works Progress Administration, and the design of the Illinois Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped—Serlin offers a new history of modernity’s entanglements with disability.
This book presents spectacularly-formed buildings, facades and interiors all made possible by recent innovations in building materials, design technologies and construction tools. There are temporary projects and urban interventions by young and established architects and designers.
Dieser vom interdisziplinären Designstudio MODU herausgegebener Reader erkundet den Raum zwischen dem Innen und dem Außen. Wie orientiert sich das Design von Innenräumen an einer urbanen Welt und andersherum? Wo lassen sich die Grenzen zwischen dem Privaten und dem Städtischen ziehen? Welche Rolle spielt hierbei die Umwelt? Phu Hoang und Rachely Rotem betrachten für ihre Recherche und Designprojekte drei Großstädte auf unterschiedlichen Kontinenten: New York, Rom und Tokio. MODU lässt dabei die binäre Idee von Innen und Außen hinter sich und begreift Architektur vielmehr als Erweiterung der Umwelt. Somit imaginiert es ein Hybrid von urbanem Raum, Architektur und Innenraum. Im Buch werden die unterschiedlichen geografischen Orte untersucht und eigene Designprojekte vorgestellt.
