Beyond ready-made solutions design as a practice of critical questioning How can design education foster hope in times of crisis? Edited by Anab Jain, Nikolas Heep, and Stefan Zinell from the Department of Design Investigations at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, this reader introduces a groundbreaking approach to design pedagogy. At its core are speculative practices, world-building, material engagement, and storytelling, equipping students and practitioners to address urgent questions of our time from the climate crisis to technological acceleration. Rather than offering solutions, the book cultivates the essential ability to design questions. With contributions from internationally renowned authors such as Paola Antonelli, Fiona Raby, Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, Zoy Anastassakis, Nana Biamah-Ofosu, Lilli Hollein, and Rory Hyde, the volume opens up new perspectives on the role of design in a world in transformation. Highlights of the book Innovative reader from the Department of Design Investigations, University of Applied Arts Vienna Focus on speculative design, world-building, and storytelling A new approach: designing questions instead of predefined answers Interdisciplinary reflections on climate, technology, and society International contributions from leading voices in design, art, and theory An essential publication for students, educators, and researchers in design, as well as for all who seek new methods to respond to global challenges with creativity and hope.Led by award-winning designer and professor Anab Jain, Design Investigations at the University of Applied Arts Vienna fosters speculative, ecological and critical design education, supported by colleagues Nikolas Heep and Stefan Zinells interdisciplinary expertise.

Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Mets route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

El manifiesto de uno de los urbanistas más influyentes del mundo para humanizar y hacer más habitables las ciudades.El poder de la proximidad invita a repensar la vida urbana desde una mirada más humana y transformadora. Carlos Moreno propone una autentica revolucion urbanistica: habitar la ciudad -no solo alojarse en ella- redescubriendo el valor de la cercania. Defiende una ciudad compacta, accesible y vivible, donde la proximidad mejore la calidad de vida y fortaleczca los lazos sociales, culturales y ambientales.--------------La coleccion Endebate es el hogar de aquellos textos breves que presentan una opinion, defienden una actitud o cuentan una historia, pero son mas un aperitivo que un banquete, estimulan la conversacion mas que saciarla e inician un festin (que no clausuran). Como los mejores bocados, entran por los ojos y dejan un largo poso en el paladar.La critica ha dicho: En un mundo donde las ciudades crecen sin pausa y el tiempo de las personas se disuelve entre desplazamientos y distancias, Moreno propone una revolucion silenciosa pero profunda: reorganizar la vida urbana en torno a la proximidad, la equidad y el bienestar cotidiano.

The provenance of artworks is a burning issue in current scholarship and politics. Transpose provenance into architecture and it reveals new and surprising dimensions in the social, material and cultural lives of buildings and architectural artefacts, reframing questions of migration, movement and circulation. Provenance in architecture illuminates the intricate trajectories of fundamentally composite objects from their complex origins to their uncertain destinations. This dictionary examines architectural provenance across 101 key concepts from "Acquisition" to "Will". The entries provide new ways of writing architectural history, highlighting how architecture moves, is destroyed, survives and is transformed.Uwe Fleckner is a professor in art history at the University of Hamburg and conducts provenance research as a director of the Research Centre of "Degenerate Art."Mari Lending is a professor in architectural history and theory at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design and directs the international research project "Provenance Projected: Architecture Past and Future in the Era of Circularity."

¿Es posible entender algunas prácticas arquitectónicas como cercanas al arte documental? Este texto ensaya esta posibilidad a partir del corpus teórico que recoge el documental en el cine. Realidad, honestidad y ficcion son terminos muy discutidos y a la vez muy pertinentes en nuestra disciplina. Lo que une a cine y arquitectura, en el marco de este texto, es que uno y otra han de elaborar una obra a partir de una realidad existente, en ocasiones delicada, a veces dificil de asumir. La accion que interviene sobre esta realidad es objeto de vision critica y etica. Esta tension documental es algo intrinseco a las propias disciplinas.La respuesta a esta pregunta abre caminos posibles y tambien se encuentra con obstaculos que ponen en evidencia dificultades que atraviesa el proyecto. Tomando la sugerencia de Victor Erice, que alude a que el documental se conecta con el cine mas primario, podemos preguntarnos si estas practicas se relacionan con una parte fundamental de la arquitectura, lo que referiria a un interes contemporaneo por trabajar activamente con la realidad desde la autonomia disciplinar.Si en el documental se discute sobre el registro de la realidad en bruto, sobre la preparacion de un guion masabierto, sobre el uso de dispositivos para provocar una invasion de lo real, sobre la incorporacion del lenguaje de los otros o sobre la habilidad del montaje como constructor de sentido, nos proponemos preguntar a la arquitectura a proposito de estos mismos temas.

El agotamiento no es una casualidad, sino la consecuencia de una historia que nos enseñó a medir nuestro valor por lo que somos capaces de soportar. Se cultiva desde la infancia, moldeado en la búsqueda de validacion externa y alimentado por una cultura que glorifica la productividad sin limites. Aprendemos desde pequeños que nuestro valor esta en lo que somos capaces de soportar, hasta que el cuerpo, la mente y el alma claman por un alto. En este libro, Odair Comin guia al lector a traves de un viaje profundo y revelador sobre los origenes invisibles del burnout, explorando como los patrones familiares, creencias arraigadas y el entorno laboral nos condicionan a superar nuestros propios limites. A traves de la historia de Maria, una profesional brillante consumida por el ciclo extenuante de la alta productividad, nos sumergimos en los mecanismos invisibles que nos empujan al colapso y, lo mas importante, descubrimos como podemos liberarnos. Combinando narrativa envolvente, psicologia, filosofia y reflexiones impactantes, Burnout La Genealogia del Agotamiento no es solo un diagnostico, sino una invitacion a la transformacion. Una deconstruccion necesaria para que podamos reconstruir una relacion mas saludable con el trabajo, la vida y, sobre todo, con nosotros mismos. Porque el verdadero renacimiento no viene de la destruccion completa, sino de la eleccion diaria de no ser consumidos hasta las cenizas.

Sabemos que las ciudades son un elemento característico y central del mundo contemporáneo, pero desconocemos cuánto han influido en las principales corrientes intelectuales de nuestra era. En la medida en que los conceptos se producen en lugares y tiempos concretos, este libro propone repensar la relacion entre lo social y lo urbano. Abrir la geografia de la teoria consiste en realizar un doble movimiento. Por un lado, volver a vincular ideas e intelectuales con espacios y periodos concretos. Por el otro, pensar cada ciudad como una configuracion unica, atendiendo a las particularidades y singularidades que la definen, con el proposito de desestabilizar binarismos recurrentes en la teoria urbana moderno o tradicional, Occidente o tercer mundo, global o local y avanzar hacia nuevas formas de comprender el polifacetico fenomeno urbano.
