This captivating book delves into fresh architectural and design viewpoints on the contemporary urban landscape. While architects and urban designers have traditionally asserted that their creations, sketches, and buildings are "post-critical," this remarkable volume aims to broaden the critical dimension of architecture and urbanism. Through a series of historical and theoretical investigations, this book explores how the materialities, forms, and practices of architecture and urban design can serve as a powerful critique of the modern urban condition. It not only presents innovative concepts and theories but also offers valuable analytical tools and frameworks to enhance our understanding of the prevailing counter-hegemonic tendencies in both disciplinary strategies and appropriation tactics.
The diverse selection of chapters, drawn from countries such as Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, the United States, and the Netherlands, brings together a rich tapestry of theoretical and empirical perspectives. This amalgamation creates a novel analysis of the city and architecture, highlighting the urgent need for new critical urban and architectural thinking that engages with the complexities and processes of the contemporary urban realm. This volume will be a thought-provoking and enriching read for academics, students, and professionals in the fields of architecture, urban design, geography, political science, and beyond.
