While our era of constant crisis demands stronger social and
political engagement, architecture has been largely characterized
by a lack of strong positions during the last decades. But more
recently, one can again observe attitudes that claim to address
architecture and urbanism as more engaged with the social and
political effects of global capitalism. Against the liberal
'anything goes' and the revival of architectural autonomy, these
attitudes believe less in the possibility for even the most
experimental architectural object to have a changing effect on
society. Their approaches instead vary from activism to the
construction of new critical narratives. But how do these attitudes
emancipate themselves from capitalism and to what extent are they
able to take into account the complexities of the sociopolitical,
economical, ecological, and cultural aspects of the production of
space? This book relays a passionate debate between some of the
most outstanding theoreticians and eloquent protagonists of this
new attitude, leaving us with an overview of such postulated
ambitions. A debate with Anne-Julchen Bernhardt, Arno Brandlhuber,
Gilles Delalex, Manuel Gausa, Rania Ghosn &vEl Hadi Jazairy,
Adrian Lahoud, Bart Lootsma, Markus Miessen, Can Onaner, Laurent
Stalder, Peter Swinnen, Pelin Tan, Milica Topalovic, Stephan Truby,
Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, and Paola Vigano.
