Architectural Technicities - A Foray Into Larval Space (Hardcover): Stavros Kousoulas Architectural Technicities - A Foray Into Larval Space (Hardcover)
Stavros Kousoulas
R4,476 Discovery Miles 44 760 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book poses a simple question: how is this architecture possible? To respond, it will embark on a captivating journey through many singular architectural concepts. The entasis of Doric columns, Ulysses and desert islands will outline an architectural act that moves beyond representation. A ferryman who stutters will present two different types of architectural minds. A stilus and a theory of signs will reconsider the ways architects can develop a particular kind of intuition, while architectural technicities will bring forth a membranic and territorial understanding of architecture. Finally, as a melody that sings itself, a larval architecture will be introduced, bringing space and time together. Assisting this endeavour, the thought of philosophers like Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Gilbert Simondon and Raymond Ruyer will meet the latest developments in fields like affect theory, cognitive sciences, environmental studies and neuroanthropology. Eventually, by the end of this book, the readers - from architecture students and researchers to academics and practitioners with an interest in theory - will have been exposed to a comprehensive and original philosophy of architecture and the built environment.

Architectures of Life and Death - The Eco-Aesthetics of the Built Environment (Hardcover): Andrej Radman, Stavros Kousoulas Architectures of Life and Death - The Eco-Aesthetics of the Built Environment (Hardcover)
Andrej Radman, Stavros Kousoulas
R2,538 Discovery Miles 25 380 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Driven by the Foucauldian attitude of subsuming architectural history into a genealogy of techne, Architectures of Life and Death advances a transdisciplinary approach rethinking subjectivity and exploring the political ramifications of these processes for the discipline of architecture and beyond. In contrast to mainstream approaches, architecture will not be seen as representative of culture, but as the mechanism of culture, the 'collective equipment' that rests on the reciprocal determination of social habits and technological habitats. In this sense, the idea that we shape our environments, therefore they shape us, is not to be taken as a metaphor. The animate has always been utterly dependent on the inanimate. A livable habitat is one which the inhabitant actively co-evolves with and which does not constitute a ready-made condition to which the inhabitant would simply have to passively adapt.

Design Commons - Practices, Processes and Crossovers (1st ed. 2022): Gerhard Bruyns, Stavros Kousoulas Design Commons - Practices, Processes and Crossovers (1st ed. 2022)
Gerhard Bruyns, Stavros Kousoulas
R4,105 Discovery Miles 41 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book directly links the notion of the commons with different design praxes, and explores their social, cultural, and ecological ramifications. It draws out material conditions in four areas of design interest: social design, commons and culture, ecology and transdisciplinary design. As a collection of positions, the diversity of arguments advances the understanding of the commons as both concepts and modes of thinking, and their material translation when contextualised in the domain of design questions. In other words, it moves abstract social science concepts towards concrete design debates. This text appeals to students, researchers and practitioners working on design in architecture, architecture theory, urbanism, and ecology.
