Abstract

This volume investigates one of the most significant shifts in contemporary urban research: the shift from an object- to an action-related perspective on the city. Outlining a critical urban theory from an improvisational perspective, the book shows why this transition might change our understanding of the city at large and make us reconsider the role of architecture and urban design, as well as their representations. German theorist, composer, and musician Christopher Dell, widely known for his performances and teaching in urban design, explores the question of making in a constellation of matter, things, embodiment, active living, and discourse. Insightful and engagingly written, this extraordinary volume offers, for the first time in English, a far-reaching narrative that examines the improvisation of space and reflects multifaceted aspects of the city today. The book assembles a unique collection of images and essays, providing a substantial new contribution and advancement in the field of urban research.

Abstract

What we have here is a hybrid of philosophy and urbanism, asking questions about autonomy and freedom in the modern world. Ever since Kant, the question of autonomy -- the ability of the individual to act on his own -- is one of utmost importance to democracy. Yet in today's consumer culture, we are dependent on the urban infrastructure and supply chain, which makes true autonomy difficult. The authors consider what Beuys meant when he said that everyone is an artist: that everyone is trying to live in tune with our social space. Which brings us to the tuneful cooperation of jazz improvisation, where one finds harmony within disorder. Authors Ton Matton, an urbanist, and Christopher Dell, a philosopher and jazz musician, join minds to create this thought-provoking book.

Abstract

Um in komplexen und dynamischen Umwelten agieren und diese aktiv gestalten zu können, sind formalisierte Arbeitsabläufe und geronnene Strukturen oft nicht hilfreich. Wir benötigen ein performatives, fließendes Verständnis von Organisation und die Beherrschung agiler Prozesse: Das oft versteckte Erfahrungswissen (tacit knowing) wird zur Grundlage der heute benötigten »Kunst« der Improvisation. Die Beiträge zeigen: Implizites und intuitives, vorausschauendes Wissen und experimentierend-spielerisches Handeln sind die Grundlage für Innovation und agiles Lernen in Organisationen und sozialen Systemen. In der Analyse von »organizational patterns« und »musikalischem Denken« entsteht ein neues Verständnis flexibler und dynamischer Organisationen. »Ein Gewinn für alle, die viel Zeit mitbringen und Lust am Begreifen der Materie verspüren.« Johanna Anzengruber, www.socialnet.de, 21.06.2018

Abstract

Penseur de la ville, Christopher Dell poursuit ses recherches sur la dimension immatérielle de l’urbain et l’improvisation et utilise ici l’analogie avec la partition de musique pour proposer une référence pour des domaines de création tels que l'architecture, l'urbanisme ou le design. Cette analogie pose déjà dans la musique et dans l'art un regard rétrospectif sur plus de 50 ans d'histoire de recherches portant sur l'exploration des formes (Fluxus, George Brecht,...). Le concept de mise en page du livre et le graphisme se réfèrent structurellement au langage d'une partition musicale C. Dell s'inspire de la musique pour penser la ville et prendre en compte la dimension immatérielle de l'urbain. Il aborde et développe le concept de partition ouverte pour envisager l'espace et porter un regard spécifique sur la ville et sur les processus urbains.
