Paperback. Contemporary thinkers from Hito Steyerl to Atelier Bow-Wow explore how architecture can adapt to--rather than replace--the existing built environmentThis volume considers existing urban contexts as an opportunity to use the potential of place, and the creativity of inhabitants and users, the power of the social and urban fabric to respond to needs and urgent topics. Rewriting Architecture poses such questions as: what does architecture mean in times of scarcity; how to relate to heritage; how to respond to changing social demographics; how to go on building in an increasingly dense urban landscape? It thus explores the changing role of the contemporary architect who must take the existing world as a starting point for research.Eleven "actions" make up the sections of the book, in the form of commands such as Overlay, Restart, Copy, Repurpose and Densify. These actions are then addressed by leading thinkers such as Hito Steyerl, Atelier Bow-Wow, Failed Architecture and others. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…

Rewriting Architecture onderzoekt de veranderende rol van de hedendaagse architect: het boek toont analyses van uiteenlopende plekken en ontwerppraktijken in binnen- en buitenland, van historische binnensteden tot naoorlogse buitenwijken en buitengebieden. Het richt zich bewust niet alleen op het behoud door transformatie van wat als waardevol wordt beschouwd, maar ook op het toevallig-ontstane en niet-beschermde. Het doel van Rewriting Architecture is om nieuwe methoden voor het lezen, begrijpen en herschrijven van bestaande plekken en ruimten te bieden, vanuit een brede mix van perspectieven. Daarom gebruikt het boek ook invalshoeken en projecten uit disciplines als kunst, biologie en popcultuur, naast architectuur van o.a. internationaal gerenommeerde ontwerpers en onderzoekende studentenprojecten.
Rewriting Architecture toont elf benaderingen, elk een manier van denken en handelen, om met subtiele, precieze en soms radicale interventies waarde toe te voegen aan complexe situaties. Aan de hand van deze elf 'attitudes' beschrijft het boek ontwerppraktijken die de bestaande context - de complexe werkelijkheid waarin we wonen, werken en onze levens leven - als inspiratie, drijfveer en startpunt van architectuur ziet. Twintig denkers en makers, waaronder tien architecten, aangevuld met tien makers afkomstig uit andere disciplines (filosofie, beeldende kunst, ecologie), reflecteren daarnaast op de relevante en implicaties van de beschreven attitudes.
10 + 1 Actions zijn de handelingen die in het boek worden beschreven en vormen tevens de hoofdstukken: Reimagine; Eliminate; Obscure; Overlay; Restart; Copy; Continue; Reconfigure; Repurpose; Densify.
