Written by a diverse group of contributors from around the world, the chapters address various themes such as urban planning, the welfare state, place and identity, and autonomy, examining how they intersect with the built environment. Spanning a wide range of materials, from Foucault's evolving perspectives on space to land-scraping leisure centers in inter-war Belgium, the book unpacks concepts like community and collectivity alongside themes of self-organization and authorship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArchitecture and Collective Life serves as a thought-provoking reflection on urban and architectural practice, as well as historical, political, and social change. It will be of immense interest to students and scholars in architecture and urbanism, as well as practicing architects, as it offers valuable insights into the ways in which architecture shapes and influences our collective experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 764g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 245 x 174 x 22 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367633905                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103860715770,"sku":"9780367633905","price":39.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7fd43587c59c297cd3ee502996fe20ce.jpg?v=1637120835","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/architecture-and-collective-life","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
