  • READING ARCHITECTURE FROM PUBLIC TO COMMONS at CITYGROUP

    READING ARCHITECTURE FROM PUBLIC TO COMMONS at CITYGROUP

    The exhibition, Reading Architecture from Public to Commons, opens up the homonymous book to expose its contents visually, offering an opportunity for a first read that extends the connections of the printed document and creates a physical space for additional interpretation. Highlighting and complementing textual excerpts with imagery, the exhibition invites viewers to scroll through the contents-manually, in a situation distinct from the linear act of reading, to extend, link, or even rethink the book’s original ideas.

    BOOK: ARCHITECTURE FROM PUBLIC TO COMMONS

    Incredibly happy to share Architecture from Public to Commons. The book provides an urgent framework and collective reflection on understanding how to reconsider and recast architecture within ideas and politics of the commons and practices of commoning. Architecture from Public to Commons opens a dialogue with the scales of the commons, the limits of language for fluid identities, the practices of architecture as an institution, the design of objects for shared value, land protocols that explore alternatives to profit-seeking, and spirited conversations about revolting against architectural labor. Specific chapters also explore the boundaries of Blackness across the Atlantic, water cycles…

    MAKING THE PUBLIC–COMMONS

    MAKING THE PUBLIC–COMMONS was an installation and a conversations-marathon project motivated by the ambition and need to elaborate our positions towards the making and building public–commons, primarily through an act of appearance and conversation much required in our cultural context. The project relied mainly on direct dialogue and embodied engagement. It proposed dialogue and conversations around topics of—but not limited to, how and what constitutes the public and the commons, and: institutions, commoning, landscapes, justice, measures, cooperation, water, ecologies, language, and appearance. Guests included Marina Otero Verzier, Pelin Tan, Elise Hunchuck, Bryan Lee Jr., AD-WO (Emanuel Admassu, Jen Wood), COOPIA…

    I WOULD RATHER BE                          DREAMING SUMMER DESIRES (DSD) is a project about collective imagination in a context of social and spatial dispersion.

DSD understands that bodies–humans have a subjugated role in the formal and spatial configuration of the city, designed primarily as a network of systems intending to sustain economies of extraction, profit, and multi-scale infrastructures. DSD see the city…
