Abstract

The crafts, according to standard narration, have been in decline in Western societies since the weakening of guilds, the freedom of trade guaranteed by the French and American Revolution, and the rollout of industrialization during the nineteenth century. Conversely, their endangered position in industrialized urban capitalism has transformed craft also into a site of resistance. With the digital update of the twenty-first century, Dialectic VI asks for the critical potential of a discussion (re-introduction?) of the concept of craft into the maelstrom of contemporary spatial practice and current architectural thinking. Ten position pieces by international architects, activists, theoreticians, and makers approach the issue of “craft” from dialectical perspectives. This is the debate about the current challenges and opportunities of the material, social, cultural, and aesthetic interrelationships of craft in architecture.

Abstract

Beim Atmen - im Prozess von ständigem Austausch und Grenzüberschreitung zwischen Organismus und Umwelt - wird Luft als «immaterielles» Material aktiv. Der Band versammelt erstmals Studien zum Atem aus Perspektive der Künste, Geisteswissenschaften sowie experimentellen wissenschaftlichen und gestalterischen Praktiken. Mit Fokus auf die Zeit von 1900 bis heute umfasst die Publikation bewusst eine Epoche, in welcher Luft ein prekäres Medium ist: Ob im Kontext von Klimawandel und globaler Pandemie, Raumfahrttechnologien oder im Giftgaskrieg - Luft ist von Menschen miterzeugt und manipuliert. In diesem Spektrum zeigt sich der Atem selbst als schwer zu fassende, aber wesentliche Substanz, die Verbindungen zwischen Physischem, Symbolischem, Technologischem und Sozialem sichtbar macht During breathing - in the process of constant exchange and crossing of boundaries between the organism and its environment - air as an «immaterial» material becomes active. For the first time, this anthology brings together studies on breath from the perspective of the arts and humanities, as well as experimental scientific and design practices. Focusing on the period from 1900 to the present day, the publication covers an era during which air has become a precarious medium: whether in the context of climate change or global pandemic, space technology or gas warfare, air is now co-created and manipulated by humans. Against this backdrop, breath appears as an elusive yet vital substance that reveals the interconnections between the physical, symbolic, technological and social realms.
