This book captures concepts and projects that reshape the
discipline of architecture by prioritizing people over buildings.
In doing so, it uncovers sophisticated approaches that go beyond
standard architectural protocols to explore experience-based
aesthetics, encounters, action-based research, critical practices,
and social engagement. If these are widely understood as singular
or incompatible approaches, the book reveals that they form a
growing network of interrelations and generate levels of
flexibility and dynamism that are reshaping the discipline. The
thirteen chapters analyze thought-provoking projects - branded
museums, restaged exhibitions, home/work spaces, multi-cultural
spaces, ageing apartment blocks, abandoned homes, and urban slums
amongst them. Together, they enliven the stalled debate about a
single architectural response to the complex challenges of the
contemporary world by highlighting pluralistic perspectives on
architecture that offer fresh solutions on how architecture can
improve people's lives. Featuring essays from an international
range of authors, this book makes a vital contribution to our
understanding of the wider conditions under which, and in relation
to which, contemporary architecture is produced.
