Everyday Matters: Contemporary Approaches to Architecture

More about the book

Architects and urban planners have long oscillated between powerlessness and megalomania, seeking to design habitats, civilisations, and even the entire planet. But in the current climate of geopolitical uncertainty, occurring against the backdrop of unprecedented environmental change, design professionals acknowledge once again the vulnerability of their field. 'Everyday Matters' shows how architects have shifted their focus to the realm of the quotidian as they are confronted with the challenges of an uncertain future.
