Over the past 20 years, Andres Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation have raised a new scenario for architectural practice. In dialogue with other sensibilities and fields of knowledge such as political ecology, feminist thought, media studies, the sociology of science or climatology, among many others, Jaque enunciates a working context in which architecture has ceased to be limited solely to sensory concerns, to aesthetic demands, to the immobile passivity of matter or to the rhetoric of space, in order to vindicate the political role of architecture in the democratic composition of our techno-societies.
In this book, which opens 12 windows of fresh air to the future of architecture; design and urban intervention are presented as a mediation practice in assemblies composed of sets of entities that belong to very diverse categories, such as institutions, viruses, cellular reproduction, hormonal production, normative instruments, markets, machines, humans, the other-than- human, and in which the agency of each entity is continuously negotiated on multiple scales and contingent states.
This volume is the partial record of an immense effort -full of intellectual risk- to transform the architectural discipline and to liberate it from the emprisionment of the binary logics of modernity, in which the dichotomies between the human and the non-human, the mechanical and the organic, or science and politics, have unfortunately marked the agenda of professional studies, pedagogies, and architectural institutions from modernity to the present times.
An editorial event, an essential book that offers an insight into the political capabilities of the architectural design, its activisms and ethical commitments, beyond the neutrality, autonomy, and self-referential narratives in which architecture had been traditionally inscribed. Five hundred pages of text, thousand of images, references, contributions, acknowledgements, plans, and drawings, it also includes an exhaustive thematic index and a splendid introduction by Keller Easterling.
