Description
"During the last decades architecture has been largely characterized by a lack of strong positions. A form of neoliberal indifference has become endemic, something that can be attributed to the fact that modernism has lost its claim to be both emancipatory and educational. More recently though, one can again observe attitudes that claim to address architecture and urbanism as more engaged with the social and political effects of global capitalism. This book relays a passionate debate between some of the most outstanding theoreticians and eloquent protagonists of this new attitude, leaving us with an overview of such postulated ambitions. Against the liberal "anything goes" and the revival of architectural autonomy, these attitudes believe less in the possibility for even the most experimental architectural object to have a changing effect on society. Their approaches instead vary from activism to the construction of new critical narratives."--Publisher's web page. Während unser Zeitalter der konstanten Krisen stärkeres soziales und politisches Engagement erfordert, ist auf dem Feld der Architektur in den letzten Jahrzehnten das Fehlen von starken Positionen zu vernehmen. Wie Kenneth Frampton kürzlich bemerkte, hat das emanzipatorische Moment der Moderne Platz für eine neoliberale Gleichgültigkeit gemacht, während die technologische Modernisierung stetig voranschreitet. 0Aber eine neue Tendenz scheint diesen unbefriedigenden Zustand aufzuwirbeln. Es lassen sich Haltungen beobachten, die mit Architektur und Städtebau wieder direkter und engagierter auf die soziopolitische Entwicklung unserer kontinuierlich verstädterten Umwelt einwirken wollen. Entgegen dem postmodernen oder posthistorischen Everything goes propagieren deren Vertreter eine Konkordanz von Tun und Denken sowie eine systematische und strukturellere Gestaltung von Räumen. Sie manifestieren den sozialen und politischen Anspruch der Disziplin, ohne dabei die ästhetische Dimension der Architektur aufzugeben.
