DIRTY THEORY
Hélène Frichot
About this book
Dirty theory follows the dirt of material and conceptual relations from the midst of complex milieus. It messes with mixed dis ciplines, showing up in ethnography, in geography, in philosophy, and discovering a suitable habitat in architecture, design and the creative arts. Dirty theory disrupts a comfortable status quo, including our everyday modes of inhabitation and our habits of thinking. This small book argues that we must work with the dirt to develop an ethics of care and maintenance for our precarious environmentworlds.

THE DEATH OF URBANISM
Marcus White & Nano Langenheim
About this book
Koolhaas pronounced urbanism dead in 1995. Since then, urban design has strug gled to come to terms with this and other losses including environmental stability, affordable housing, design control, and urban amenity. This book explores urban design paradigms transitioning through a misappropriation of KüblerRoss’ “five stages of grief” – from prosprawl ‘denial’, NIMBY ‘anger’, revisionist new urbanist ‘bargaining’, ‘depressed’ starchitects, through to an optimistic manifesto of ‘acceptance’.
About the editors

Nano Langenheim is a landscape architect, horticulturist, arborist, and lecturer in landscape architecture and urban design at the University of Melbourne. Their rese arch explores the integration of data, emerging technology and cultural speci ficity to support design decision making for cities in transition.

SCANDALOUS SPACE

About this book
If architecture is a designcentred discipline which proceeds by suggesting propositional constructions then, Zambelli argues, archa eology also designs, but in the form of re constructions. He proposes that whilst practitioners of architecture and archaeology generally purport to practice in future facing and pastfacingmodes respectively, elements of these disciplines also resemble one another. Zambelli speculates that whilst some of these resemblances have remained explicit and revealed, others have become occluded with time, but that all such resemblances share homological simi larities of interconnected disciplinary origin making available in the scandalous space between them a logically underpinned, visually analogical form of practice. |
