Reihe: Critiques

This book specifically situates the concept of ‘care’ within those practices and discourses which are the entangled relationships of architecture and the humanities.

The book presents responses to such questions as: How can care inhere in the ecologies of modes of representation that we use to design and communicate architecture? Who is caring for whom/what in activist practices of urban development? How can we understand the very situated potential of professional practice and its political nature to engender caring forms of ‘doing’ architecture? What are the expanded ecologies of buildings for care (such as educational and healthcare facilities) and how do they acknowledge the particularities of users’ situations? It is the inter- and transdisciplinary nature of the crisscrossing of architecture and the humanities which permeate the works presented in the book, bringing together an international collection of thinkers and makers to respond response-ably, with care, through the specificities of architectural thought.

This book brings together developed works from a geographically diverse set of contributors, which as a collection offers insights into the possibilities of care’s insinuation into the breadth of what we might label ‘architecture’ in very different international cultural settings. It provides essential reading for students, researchers and academics in this burgeoning area of research.

Über Autor(innen)

Oren Lieberman is Professor of Architecture at University of Portsmouth with degrees in philosophy/psychology and architecture. His practice spans teaching, researching, writing, and curating. His research explores performative practices entangling architecture, performance, philosophy, geography, anthropology, and sociology, focusing on posthuman aesthetics and more-than-human assemblages in architectural production, examining political practices, critical pedagogies, and ethical world-making through post-qualitative methodologies.

Alessandro Zambelli is an academic at the University of Melbourne. His research explores colonial commons, alongside architectural–archaeological interdisciplinarities pursued through situated, performative, and creative practice. He regularly publishes and exhibits across these themes, and is Managing Editor of Architecture and Culture Journal, promoting interdisciplinary approaches to the architectural humanities.
