AbstractHow should we do the history of US midcentury modernist architecture—a period marked by intense campaigns of Native American dispossession in the face of organised Indigenous resistance? The spatial development of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians’ ancestral lands in Palm Springs, California, offers an illustrative case study for these intersections; a history of colonial settlement both enabled and constrained as much by canonical architects like Albert Frey and Richard Neutra as by the Agua Caliente’s own highly influential political activism. This history challenges the perfect model of nested state jurisdiction—seamlessly connecting territory and expertise—to show a tangle of jurisdictional relations of various degrees and kinds of opacity, marked and mediated by architecture. This article explores these entanglements as the effects of “jurisdictional technics,” or how architecture organised relations of authority among and between competing regimes of order.Keywords: Indigenous governancedesert modernismsettler colonialismjurisdictionhistoriography Notes1 The author would like to thank participants of the University of California’s “Decolonizing Regionalism” working group for their comments on an early draft of this paper: Can Bilsel, Swati Chattopadhyay, Zirwat Chowdhury, Dana Cuff, Muriam Haleh-Davis, Miloš Jovanović, Nancy Kwak, Ayala Levin, Juliana Maxim, Kelema Lee Moses, Stephan Miescher, Patricia Morton, Albert Narath, Ginger Nolan, Michael Osman, and Keith Pezzoli.2 This is a problematic as old as the discipline itself, but of continued urgency in the field.

Abstract Kuwait’s post-oil modernisation is often attributed to a sequence of masterplans designed by British architects and planners. Throughout the recent history of Kuwait’s urban development, these plans foreshadowed policies mediated by local actors and an ambitious public infrastructure building conceived by a new Arab muhandis (architect-engineer). This paper seeks to illuminate a specific period in Kuwait’s architectural and urban history that was facilitated by Arab actors hired in the 1960s in different capacities, and the emergence of the Arab architectural firm in the 1970s. By taking on the role of “expert,” refining what it means to be a muhandis, and by looking at more regional references, these local actors were able to experiment, attempting to develop a distinctly Arab architectural and urban modernism situated in a global modernist movement. This paper offers an expanded reading of the making of Kuwait’s architectural and urban production beyond the polarisation between imported masterplans and locally produced building knowledge and the role played by muhandis in such development.

Abstract This is a first attempt to unpack the concept of participation as developed by one of its most passionate and authoritative advocates: Giancarlo De Carlo. The narrative hinges on the analysis of a number of texts produced by the architect, spanning his entire career, in which this topic takes a prominent position. This analysis reads also the experiences in which the architect adopted this instrument to understand the friction of his ambitious intentions within social and political contexts of Italian architectural practice, which changed profoundly from the post-war period to the 1980s. This paper will argue that it is precisely in this changing context that De Carlo refines and expands his idea of “participation” both conceptually and operationally. His experiences and their contexts are explored through unpublished archival materials, professional magazines, contemporaneous coverage and debate published in newspapers, and the scholarship realised on this theme to date.

Abstract Architecture is always embedded within a set of economic preconditions that determine value. Yet economics is in itself malleable—it is debated, rather than calculated. This article explores the subjective nature of economy by investigating how architects have historically engaged with the question of “economies of scale” as it has applied to housing sites. While the theory purports that scale—in this case the scale of land for housing—affects economic performance, these effects are mediated by culturally constructed judgements about what is valuable. The article focuses on architectural writings that have advocated for changing the scale at which housing is conceptualised and delivered. It identifies four economic paradigms, historic eras in which emerging economic theories influenced housing: eighteenth-century land “engrossment” and idealised cottage design; nineteenth and twentieth-century industrial expansion and garden cities; Fordism and rationalised land development; and late-twentieth-century liberalism and the atomisation of housing estates. Architecture does not simply follow the dictates of political economy, it rather contributes to it.

Architecture does not simply follow the dictates of political economy, it rather contributes to it.","PeriodicalId":43786,"journal":{"name":"Architectural Theory Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43988499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few architectural sites seem as symbolic of the system of political rule whose official seat they accommodate as the African Union Conference Center and Office Complex (AUCC) in Addis Ababa. Funded, designed, and built by Chinese agencies, the complex sits at the center of a shifting set of international relations that also thread through the organisation ’ s longer architectural history. In analysing the project, this article explains processes of material, spatial, and administrative organisation at its core: an array of design and construction practices, building-related technologies, and forms of post-delivery management and maintenance that we argue amount to a mode of technical governance. Understanding this architectural form of governance requires a closer study of the design, construction, and post-occupancy of the AUCC as well as the adjacent German-designed Peace and Security Council building. It also necessitates situating these within a longer history of architectural contributions to the shifting nature of Pan-African governance in Addis Ababa over time.

Abstract This paper analyses the disaster relief operation that was set in motion immediately after the 1976 Guatemala earthquake through the activities of the Guatemalan Red Cross Society. Already in the emergency phase, “Guatecruz” built field offices in the disaster region to manage both the relief efforts as well as to set up forty-three tent cities. By taking a seat in the disaster zone, as opposed to coordinating from a distant headquarters, Guatecruz became the main governing body in a large network of different national and international state and non-state actors. This paper sets out to elucidate the non-governmental logic behind the making, financing, building, and operation of Guatecruz’s field offices and introduce it as an early example of contracting out services that were previously controlled by the government to non-governmental organisations. Untangling a large-scale humanitarian crisis from these field offices, this paper introduces a specific institutional history that uses decentralisation as a method to plan, develop, and build an “architecture of global governance.”

Abstract International law “moved to institutions” in the early twentieth century. While recent literature has explored the intellectual trajectories of these international organisations, most accounts divorce their analysis from the seemingly banal histories of the “buildings, staffs, and letterheads.” Conversely, I put the spatiality of the Centre William Rappard at the forefront of the history of interwar internationalism—and its echoes throughout the century. Erected in 1926 to serve the International Labour Organisation, this building was repurposed to host the World Trade Organisation in 1975. In this article, I reconstruct how struggles over claims of the (in)dignity of international order can be explored through disputes related to the political economy, material culture, and architecture of this infrastructure of global governance.
