Examines how images of accumulation help open up the climate to
political mobilization  The current epoch is one of
accumulation: not only of capital but also of raw, often unruly
material, from plastic in the ocean and carbon in the atmosphere to
people, buildings, and cities. Alongside this material growth,
image-making practices embedded within the fields of art and
architecture have proven to be fertile, mobile, and capacious.
Images of accumulation help open up the climate to cultural inquiry
and political mobilization and have formed a cultural
infrastructure focused on the relationships between humans, other
species, and their environments. The essays in Accumulation address
this cultural infrastructure and the methodological challenges of
its analysis. They offer a response to the relative invisibility of
the climate now seen as material manifestations of social behavior.
Contributors outline opportunities and ambitions of visual
scholarship as a means to encounter the challenges emergent in the
current moment: how can climate become visible, culturally and
politically? Knowledge of climatic instability can change
collective behavior and offer other trajectories,
counteraccumulations that draw the present into a different, more
livable, future. Contributors: Emily Apter, New York U; Hans

After lengthy planning, the new public library in Oslo was
completed and opened in summer 2020. Located opposite the Opera
House and the Munch Museum, the imposing building fits into the
ensemble in the new cultural quarter of the Norwegian capital. The
project by Lund Hagem Architects and Studio Oslo emerged from an
international architectural competition and is characterized by a
radical interpretation of the library as a vivid place to meet and
spend time with an impressive multimedia offering in an unobtrusive
inviting environment. The publication documents in detail the
planning and building process from the first draft to the opening.
Essays by the novelist Elif Shafak and the library's long-time
director Liv Saeteren explain the significance of the institution
as an integrative social force. Nikolaus Hirsch pays tribute to the
building from the perspective of architectural criticism. Iwan Baan
and Helene Binet capture the architecture and atmosphere of the
shining crystal in their photographs.

A wide-ranging and challenging exploration of design and how it
engages with the self The field of design has radically expanded.
As a practice, design is no longer limited to the world of material
objects but rather extends from carefully crafted individual styles
and online identities to the surrounding galaxies of personal
devices, new materials, interfaces, networks, systems,
infrastructures, data, chemicals, organisms, and genetic codes.
Superhumanity seeks to explore and challenge our understanding of
"design" by engaging with and departing from the concept of the
"self." This volume brings together more than fifty essays by
leading scientists, artists, architects, designers, philosophers,
historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists, originally
disseminated online via e-flux Architecture between September 2016
and February 2017 on the invitation of the Third Istanbul Design
Biennial. Probing the idea that we are and always have been
continuously reshaped by the artifacts we shape, this book asks:
Who designed the lives we live today? What are the forms of life we
inhabit, and what new forms are currently being designed? Where are
the sites, and what are the techniques, to design others? This
vital and far-reaching collection of essays and images seeks to
explore and reflect on the ways in which both the concept and
practice of design are operative well beyond tangible objects,
expanding into the depths of self and forms of life. Contributors:
