Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Significant Impact: Contesting Surveillance Infrastructure on Tohono O'odham Je'vedbrings together stories, essays, and narrative cartography in a counter environmental assessment to document and describe the effects of surveillance infrastructure on the Tohono O'odham Nationa Native American reservation on the United States-Mexico border.A collaboration between O'odham Elder Ophelia Rivas, human rights scholar Nina Valerie Kolowratnik, and architectural historian Caitlin Blanchfield, the book advocates against militarized infrastructures on Indigenous lands and challenges common protocols of environmental review, along with the Western frameworks of scientific classification and property embedded in them. The project makes visible the impact of surveillance when considered through Indigenous sovereignty and an O'odham epistemology of land. It offers a visual language that is sensitive to secrecy protocols within Traditional Knowledge and that challenges the colonial biases of Western cartography.The book situates current surveillance infrastructure projects on the Tohono O'odham Nation within a longer history of settler colonialism and border militarization, and reflects on the role of environmental review within the politics of protection in Indigenous lands.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the first English publication of PARKKIM, Seoul and Boston based landscape architectural practice founded in 2004. When their first book publication ever 'Alternative Nature (Mediabus, Seoul: 2015)' was mainly in Korean and sans images, this title invites the global audience to an in- depth discussion on the practice, backed by photos, drawings, and essays.This book is something beyond a normative architectural monograph that just describes projects, but something that invites readers to a new way of thinking about landscape architecture, nature, and the built environmen through the practice of PARKKIM. The selective works of PARKKIM, both built and unbuilt, are featured along with the photos, drawings, and narratives. A critical and introductory essay by Kim and Park invites the reader to join to ponder alternative ways of making the experience and function of nature. A few essays by design professionals and cultural critics expand the discourse by putting PARKKIM's practice within the contemporary context. Upon returning to the United States to teach at Harvard GSD, Yoonjin and Jungyoon detected the lack of discourse on contemporary Asian landscape practice in architecture publishing and beyond, even though the size of the Asian market and the quality of built works there have escalated to a previously unfathomable degree in recent decades. Additionally, Korean culture has recently made an unignorable impact across continents, races, and ages, mostly through K-pop and K-movie, which could facilitate increased interest in Korean architecture.…

Neuware - Architecture seems to have always grappled with missingness in its numerous guises and disguises, attempting to reclaim what is missing or disclaim the notion that something was ever really there.This edition attempts to catalog some of the modes and methods in the theory, history, and practice of architecture whereby subjects and objects are found to be absent.When something disappears, only a lingering sense of its presence stays behind. Motives and means ofdisappearance remain to tease or haunt. Occasionally, traces are left, tangibly re-presenting the intangible un-present, at least for those for whom the traces are visible.With Contributions of a vast selection of architects, artist, designers, historians, photographers, scholars, andacademics including Rubén Alcolea, Kana Arioka, Iwan Baan, Jordan H.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Climate Imaginary reflects on a global collection of design works that are engaged with the social, political and cultural transformations anticipated with climate change.With the climate emergency dominating our collective consciousness, the design field has mobilized to engage with the social, political and cultural transformations anticipated with the effects of this crisis. There has also been a corresponding widening to the spectrum of climate-informed design explorations, going beyond the technical imperatives of sustainability.The Climate Imaginary brings together a global collection of works which provide a sample of this plurality. This pluralism reverberates more explicitly with the scope of disruptions that will affect all aspect of our lives. The pervasiveness of the effects of this emergency opens up a panoply of subjects to be explored by designers that will affect all aspect of our lives.
