The squatting movement in the Netherlands has played a major role in the design of both the urban fabric and domestic interior, and continues to offer alternatives to the dominant, market-oriented housing policies. This book acknowledges squatting as an architectural practice, analysing six locations through drawings, interviews, and archival material to create a record of past and current struggles, spaces, and oral histories, thereby forming the basis for a new governmental acquisition policy. It brings together the expertise of the squatting movement with architects, archivists, scholars, and lawyers in order to discuss approaches to what are often criminalized spatial practices.

OASE 96 examines the remarkable revival of architectural practices that focus on reuse and appropriation of buildings, environments and materials. To what extent can and will designers engage in this process, and what is the possible positive or negative social impact of these interventions? This issue focuses on case studies, practical experience, critical reflection and ideas that show how architects and urban planners proactively deploy reuse in view of future user opportunities and/or applications. Between the faith in the autonomy of architecture on the one hand and design that centres on the user on the other lies a whole range of practices that address the traditional separation between design and use in a radical way. In this issue, the contrast between design and use is not perceived as an issue that needs to be resolved, but as a productive area of tension within which architecture is created.

Regardless of individual taste, some homes are indisputably more charged, have more atmosphere and are more welcoming than others. But what is it that gives them these qualities - and what steps can those involved in housing design and construction take to ensure that they are creating a positive environment for residents? The Architecture of the Home presents an analysis of non-measurable architectonic attributes that are indispensable to the quality of the home and are particularly important to the resident's perception of their dwelling. The attractive home, in which functional and practical aspects interact with aesthetic and sensual ones, is described in terms of seven fields of attributes: materials and detailing, axiality, enclosure, movement, spatial figures, daylight and organisation of spaces. Ola Nylander presents his detailed research in an engaging and accessible manner, and supports his argument through case studies of four apartment complexes, including interviews with residents and architects. The lessons learnt from this carefully chosen selection can be applied throughout the world in any field of housing, from the most affordable to the most luxurious. Far too many people are still condemned to live in homes that are unattractive and inhospitable, which can have a profound effect on their sense of wellbeing and self-worth. This book offers a straightforward approach to housing design which could make such negative environments a thing of the past. The Architecture of the Home equips architects, students of architecture, housing contractors, building consultants, housing companies, landlords and all other people interested in housing issues with the tools they need to make a healthy contribution to our living environment.

Projecting forward in time from the processes of design and construction that are so often the focus of architectural discourse, Consuming Architecture examines the variety of ways in which buildings are consumed after they have been produced, focusing in particular on processes of occupation, appropriation and interpretation. Drawing on contributions by architects, historians, anthropologists, literary critics, artists, film-makers, photographers and journalists, it shows how the consumption of architecture is a dynamic and creative act that involves the creation and negotiation of meanings and values by different stakeholders and that can be expressed in different voices. In so doing, it challenges ideas of what constitutes architecture, architectural discourse and architectural education, how we understand and think about it, and who can claim ownership of it. Consuming Architecture is aimed at students in architectural education and will also be of interest to students and researchers from disciplines that deal with architecture in terms of consumption and material culture.

This is an open access book. Religion produced noteworthy architectures from the beginning of humanity. Religion gives meaning and direction to human life, and in the process unites and empowers human beings to direct their aspirations and resources to build spectacular works of houses of worship and gathering. Religious architecture fills a significant part of history of architecture. Since ages, for the religions of mankind, human beings have evolved a plethora of forms in simple stone buildings to the ones in sophisticated modern materials and technologies. From an architectural point of view, every building built for religion is sacred, meaning it is dedicated to the powers beyond. However, the manifestations are so much varied, as they depend on the regulations sanctioned by different religious teachings combined with the society’s culture and tradition, and the builder’s intentions and aspirations. Added to that are the local environmental factors, the availability of building materials, existing building technology, and the time span of its development. From what we know today, the oldest religious architecture could be found in Göbekli Tepe, built around 10.000 years ago, when humanity still lived as hunter gatherers. Architecture developed further into megalithic period, became increasingly monumental in the medieval age with colossal royal worship complexes. Up to modern times, we keep on building religious architectures with increasing elaboration. The International Conference on Religious Architecture is organized with a hope to broaden our understanding and perspective in this often neglected field. The study in religious architecture is more acutely felt in the regions outside of Europe and America, while the demand is clearly pressing today. The Conference should serve as a forum for scholars in the field, hopefully being the first one in a series

Once regarded a secondary consideration, in recent years, materiality has emerged as a powerful concept in architectural discourse and practice. Prompted in part by developments in digital fabrication and digital science, the impact of materiality on design and practice is being widely reassessed and reimagined. Materiality and Architecture extends architectural thinking beyond the confines of current design literatures to explore conceptions of materiality across the field of architecture. Fourteen international contributors use elucidate the problems and possibilities of materiality-based approaches in architecture from interdisciplinary perspectives. The book includes contributions from the professions of architecture, art, architectural history, theory and philosophy, including essays from Gernot Böhme, Jonathan Hill and Philip Ursprung. Important 'immaterial' aspects such as presentation, agency, ecology and concept are examined, deepening our understanding of materiality’s role in architectural processes, the production of cultural identities, the pursuit of political agendas, and the staging of everyday environments and atmospheres. In-depth illustrated case studies examine works by Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid, and Lacaton & Vassal, interspersed with visual essays and interviews with architects such as MVRDV providing a direct connection to practice. Materiality and Architecture is an important read for researchers and students with an interest in architectural theory and related fields such as art, art history, or visual and cultural studies.

This book studies the unexplored history of China-aided architecture erected in the developing world since the 1950s. By 2019, over 1,000 buildings had been delivered to more than 160 countries, including parliament houses, convention centers, stadiums, gymnasiums, theaters, schools, hospitals, libraries, railways, and stations. These projects, which have played a significant role in promoting economic transformation, cultural engagement and social and environmental well-being, have largely been overlooked or misunderstood by the international community. Why did China donate so many foreign-aid buildings? How were these buildings built in the remote land of developing countries with intricate influences and limited resources? Have they helped modernize the recipient countries? The authors of this book use a wide range of representative projects built in different historic periods and geographical locations as case studies to address the above questions from various perspectives. This book fills an enormous gap in modern architecture in China and the world. It offers architectural students and scholars in various disciplines the necessary knowledge on "diplomatic architecture"; informs architects the appropriate methods of cross-border design and low-tech building; teaches government officials the best practice of donating and receiving foreign-aid buildings; and enhances public awareness of cultural diversity in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and Latin America. With abundant first-hand materials, historical pictures, and drawings, the book is a must-read for those who are interested in modern architecture and developmental aid in the world. China’s architecture abroad, notably in Africa and Asia, has been perceived with both fascination and anxiety. Based on a wealth of sources often difficult to access for scholars from outside China, this book links the history and present of China’s architectural mobilities in ways that will stimulate new debates in architectural history and urban studies. - Łukasz Stanek, Professor of Architectural History, The University of Manchester, UK
