Abstract

Author(s): Rankins, Kenneth | Abstract: Today, architecture and urbanism are capital-centric, speculation-driven, and investment-dominated. Many cannot afford housing. Austerity measures have taken a disastrous toll on public infrastructures. The climate crisis has rendered the planet vulnerable, even uninhabitable. This book offers an alternative vision in architecture and urbanism that focuses on caring for a broken planet. Rooted in a radical care perspective that always starts from the given, in the midst of things, this edited collection of essays and illustrated case studies documents ideas and practices from an extraordinarily diverse group of contributors.Focusing on the three crisis areas of economy, ecology, and labor, the book describes projects including village reconstruction in China; irrigation in Spain; community land trust in Puerto Rico; revitalization of modernist public housing in France; new alliances in informal settlements in Nairobi; and the redevelopment of traditional building methods in flood areas in Pakistan. Essays consider such topics as ethical architecture, land policy, creative ecologies, diverse economies, caring communities, and the exploitation of labor. Taken together, these case studies and essays provide evidence that architecture and urbanism have the capacity to make the planet livable, again.

综述:重症监护:破碎星球的建筑和城市主义
摘要:今天,建筑和城市主义是以资本为中心、投机驱动、投资主导的。许多人买不起房。紧缩措施给公共基础设施造成了灾难性的损失。气候危机使地球变得脆弱,甚至无法居住。这本书提供了建筑和城市主义的另一种视角,专注于照顾一个破碎的星球。根植于激进的护理观点,总是从给定的,在事物中,这个编辑的文集和插图案例研究记录了来自一个非常不同的贡献者群体的想法和实践。本书聚焦经济、生态和劳动三大危机领域,介绍了中国的乡村重建项目;西班牙的灌溉;波多黎各社区土地信托;法国现代主义公共住宅的复兴;内罗毕非正式住区的新联盟;以及在巴基斯坦洪灾地区重建传统建筑方法。论文考虑了伦理建筑、土地政策、创意生态、多样化经济、关怀社区和剥削劳工等主题。总的来说,这些案例研究和文章提供了证据,表明建筑和城市化有能力使地球再次宜居。
