Abstract

What are the processes that enable archives to become productive? Conventional archives tend to be defined through the content-specific accumulation of material, which conforms to an existing order or narrative. They rarely transform their structure. In contrast to this model of archival practice and preservation, the conflictual archive has an open framework in which it actively transforms itself, allowing for the creation of new and surprising relationships. Illustrating how spaces of knowledge can be devised, developed, and designed, this archive reveals itself as a space in which documents and testimonies open up a stage for productive dispute and struggle.

Abstract

How has Berlin's urban landscape changed in its remarkable transformation from divided city to creative capital? Despite the monumental heritage and grand development projects, Berlin still conjures up images of urban fragmentation and vacant inner-city land. The book reveals the changing nature and complex politics of this open space. A rephotographing of sites between 2001 and 2016 shows how no man's land has made way for new apartments and underground hangouts have changed into commercial hubs, but it also transports us to remaining pockets of urban wilderness and unexpected freedom right next to the city's most iconic squares. The accompanying essays by noted urban thinkers explore this little-known but vital reserve-forcing us to reflect on our unrelenting efforts to chart the future of the city at large. Wie hat sich die Berliner Stadtlandschaft im Laufe der Verwandlung von einer geteilten Stadt zur Kreativmetropole verändert? Trotz des gewaltigen Erbes und großer Entwicklungsprojekte ruft Berlin immer noch Bilder von Lücken und innerstädtischer Brachen hervor. Das Buch macht die leicht veränderlichen und komplexen politischen Zusammenhänge dieser unbestimmten Orte deutlich. Fotografien von Orten aus den Jahren 2001 und 2016 zeigen, wie aus Niemandsland neue Wohnbauten und wie aus Untergrundtreffpunkten Geschäftszentren geworden sind. Sie zeigen aber auch verbliebene Nischen unerwarteter Wildnis und Freiheit. Die begleitenden Texte renommierter Urbanisten untersuchen diese wichtigen und oft stillen Reserven und fordern dazu auf unseren Einsatz für die Zukunft der Stadt zu hinterfragen.

Abstract

Unbuilding is the other half of building. Buildings, treated as currency, rapidly inflate and deflate in volatile financial markets. Cities expand and shrink; whether through the violence of planning utopias or war, they are also targets of urbicide. Repeatable spatial products quickly make new construction obsolete; the powerful bulldoze the disenfranchised; buildings can radiate negative real estate values and cause their surroundings to topple to the ground. Demolition has even become a spectacular entertainment. Keller Easterling's volume in the 'Critical Spatial Practice' series analyzes the urgency of building subtraction. Often treated as failure or loss, subtraction - when accepted as part of an exchange - can be growth. All over the world, sprawl and overdevelopment have attracted distended or failed markets and exhausted special landscapes. However, in failure, buildings can create their own alternative markets of durable spatial variables that can be managed and traded by citizens and cities rather than the global financial industry.

Abstract

La société de réseau actuelle offre de nombreuses possibilités d'information, de communication, de mobilité et de flexibilité. Cependant, cela a un effet secondaire caché: cela rend le monde "plat", en d'autres termes: superficiel. Les hiérarchies, les traditions, les élites et les canons fiables et éprouvés par le temps sont sujets à l'érosion. Dans un monde aussi lissé et «horizontal», les institutions artistiques peinent à définir leur rôle. Après tout, les institutions existent dans une tradition de «verticalité»: profondeur historique, traditions, valeurs, dignité et certitude. Institutional Attitudes étudie l'identité que les institutions artistiques pourraient avoir à l'avenir. Pourront-ils retrouver de la profondeur et de la hauteur? Et est-ce souhaitable? Et si oui, à quoi ressemblera cette nouvelle verticalité? Ou sont-ils meilleurs pour développer des stratégies horizontales pour mieux répondre au monde «plat»? «Lorsque la planéité règne, nous ressentons tous le besoin de nous lever pour prendre l'air. C'est exactement cet espace de respiration que Institutional Attitudes espère créer. "
