Supertight is an exploration of high-density urban life and reducing the footprint of cites through adaptations in design and behaviour.Tightness is a positive urban quality, examined through the observations of designers, with a focus on the cities of Asia. The rapidly growing large cities of Asia are critical to understanding our future footprint. Asian cities provide insights into new ways of being densely urbanised. The by-product of this unprecedented metropolitan convergence will be the emergence of new urbanisms and new architectures, new models for living and making culture.The Supertight refers to the small, intense, robust and hyper-condensed spaces that emerge as a by-product of extreme levels of urban density. Tightness arises as consequence of density, but tightness itself is not density. Tightness is a series of social, economic and cultural practices that have developed in cities as a response to the rapid growth and consolidation of cities. While architectural models of density have been heavily explored, this project investigates the culture of tightness that has emerged in Asian cities over the past thirty years, and the role that designers play in the material and social behaviours of tightness. To be tight is to be small and constrained, but also to be open to the economies and social intimacy of being close. Ultimately this project aims to unpack and convey both the delight and difficulty that emerges through the close occupation of large cities.With Contributions of Yoshiharu Tsukamoto / Atelier Bow-wow Atelierco Rafael A Balboa with Yasemin Sahiner Sanuki Daisuke Drawing Architecture Studio Desiree Grunewald Sue Hajdu Tohru Horiguchi Alban Mannisi, Yazid Ninsalam, Charles Anderson Minsuk Cho / Mass Studies New Office Works Archie Pizzini Andrew Stiff Superimpose Taishin Shiozaki / Shiozaki Lab WOHA Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Politics of Public Space Volume Five collates the all four previously sold out volumes along with nine new conversations with; Gary Foley, Alison Young, Lily Eire Parsons, Uncle Dave Wandin, Wendy Steele, Polly Stanton, Kelsie Nabben, Olivia Daw, Genevieve Quinn, Lewis Orgar, and Carroll Go-Sam.The Politics of Public Space began in 2018 as a public lecture series curated by OFFICE. These discussions took place outside the conventional spaces of the university, held on Melbournes street corners, laneways, parks, shopping strips and plazas. Meeting in different locations around the city allowed these perspectives to be directed at the citys forms and the issues at stake in their development. The project evolved from a series of short talks and interviews to the release of four volumes of transcripts that capture the perspectives of 39 speakers. These diverse opinions demonstrate the distinct and often contradictory views on what public space is, how we occupy it and how it should be designed and governed.The previous four volumes of The Politics of Public Space set out to reveal the growing inequality within cities, and we hope these additional nine texts identify ways forward to more equitable public spaces. These range from the inclusion of diverse and marginalised communities in planning and design, to the combination of bottom-up approaches and top-down policy to enact change. This new volume expands on these ideas and approaches, to advocate for better outcomes in the built environment that consider environmental, social, economic and culturally equitable experiences in public spaces. Across all of the volumes of The Politics of Public Space, we have sought new ways to communicate the critical value of public spaces: both for shaping how we live now, and in informing just and equitable futures.We hope that this collection of texts adds to the growing discourse around public space and becomes an ongoing resource to those interested in the city and the forces that shape it.

RMIT Architecture is interested in ideas-led venturous design exploration that aspires to contribute to the future of our discipline and an increasingly complex world.This publication contains a selection of RMIT Master of Architecture independent graduating projects from seven semesters between 2019 and 2022. It seeks to capture the ideas, pre-occupations, motivations and propositions of this cohort of architectural designers who are searching for new ideas and possibilities through design and by designing.RMIT Architecture is interested in ideas-led venturous design exploration that aspires to contribute to the future of our discipline and an increasingly complex world. Architecture schools should be concerned with experimentation that challenges the orthodoxies of the discipline, as well as our underlying assumptions about what architecture is and what it should do next. Architecture schools should point towards possible futures not yet evident within existing understandings of the discipline or the profession. The significant challenges of our time are wicked problems, which require new ideas and transdisciplinary approaches. Architects need to find ways to contribute, be effective and have agency in situations in which architecture in its expanded definition is often considered to be a peripheral contributor.
