How architecture and urbanism can help to care for and repair a broken planet: essays and illustrated case studies. Today, architecture and urbanism are capital-centric, speculation-driven, and investment-dominated. Many cannot afford housing. Austerity measures have taken a disastrous toll on public infrastructures. The climate crisis has rendered the planet vulnerable, even uninhabitable. This book offers an alternative vision in architecture and urbanism that focuses on caring for a broken planet. Rooted in a radical care perspective that always starts from the given, in the midst of things, this edited collection of essays and illustrated case studies documents ideas and practices from an extraordinarily diverse group of contributors. Focusing on the three crisis areas of economy, ecology, and labor, the book describes projects including village reconstruction in China; irrigation in Spain; community land trust in Puerto Rico; revitalization of modernist public housing in France; new alliances in informal settlements in Nairobi; and the redevelopment of traditional building methods in flood areas in Pakistan. Essays consider such topics as ethical architecture, land policy, creative ecologies, diverse economies, caring communities, and the exploitation of labor. Taken together, these case studies and essays provide evidence that architecture and urbanism have the capacity to make the planet livable, again.

The eighteen members of the London-based architecture collective Assemble began collaborating in 2010, following their graduation from Cambridge University. In the years since, they have built projects across a wide range of style and function, including a temporary cinema at a former gas station, affordable workspaces for artists, the foundation of social enterprises, the revitalization of a former working-class neighborhood, and designing a new art gallery for Goldsmiths, University of London. To all of their projects they bring an awareness of the social, economic, and political conditions of a society, with the aim of changing the status quo through enabling community action. That work culminated in Assemble's selection as the winner of the 2015 Turner Prize-the first time the prize, Europe's most distinguished for contemporary art, had been awarded to architects. Assemble: How we Build offers the first illustrated look at the work of the collective, presenting a closer look at ten selected projects, along with essays that present background information and reflections on Assemble's objectives and philosophy.

Stadtentwicklung für alle Mischung: Possible! bietet Basiswissen über die Implementierung von Nutzungsmischung im konkreten Anwendungsfall einer Stadtteilentwicklung. Das Buch basiert auf einer vierjährigen experimentellen Intervention zur nachhaltigen innerstädtischen Stadtteilentwicklung durch Nutzungsmischung auf dem Areal des ehemaligen Nordbahnhofs, eines der größten Entwicklungsgebiete Wiens. Die Umsetzung der Nutzungsmischung beinhaltet die Szenarien Mobilität, Sorge- und Pflegearbeit, Nullemission, Sharing, kreative Cluster, Fair Business, vernetzte Dienstleistungen und urbane Produktion. Die Ziele sind sowohl der kollektive und individuelle Mehrwert für die Nutzer:innen als auch die Schaffung innovativer Gebäudemaßnahmen im „Stadtsockel“ für eine langfristige Nutzungsmischung: Vorbilder für eine nachhaltige Stadtplanung. Vademecum für Stadtteilentwickler:innen Vorbilder für urbanen Nutzungsmix Studie der TU Wien mit namhaften Partnern Urban development for all Mischung: Possible! offers basic knowledge on mixed-use planning based on a case study of an urban development project. The book draws on a four-year experimental study of sustainable mixed-use inner-city district development at the site of the former Nordbahnhof railway station, one of Vienna’s largest development areas. The mixed-use scenarios include mobility, care work, zero emissions, the sharing economy, creative clusters, “fair business,” networked services, and urban manufacturing. The goals are to deliver both collective and individual added value for users and to develop innovative buildings in an “urban base” for a long-term mixture of uses. This showcases best practice in sustainable urban planning.
