His theories 'flourished' in the 1980s in the aftermath of the structuralism wave and generated new concepts and methodologies for the understanding of the social. In the past decade Latour and his Actor-Network-Theory (ANT) have gained popularity among researchers in the field of architecture. Latour for Architects is the first introduction to the key concepts and ideas of Bruno Latour that are relevant to architects. First, the book discusses critically how specific methods and insights from his philosophy can inspire new thinking in architecture and design pedagogy. Second, it explores examples from architectural practice and urban design, and reviews recent attempts to extend the methods of ANT into the fields of architectural and urban studies. Third, the book advocates an ANT-inspired approach to architecture and examines how its methodological insights can trace new research avenues in the field, reflecting meticulously on its epistemological offerings. Drawing on many lively examples from the world of architectural practice, the book makes a compelling argument about the agency of architectural design and the role architects can play in re-ordering the world we live in. Following Latour's philosophy offers a new way to handle all the objects of human and non-human collective life, to re-examine the role of matter in design practice, and to redefine the forms of social, political and ethical associations that bind us together in cities" (éditeur) Note de contenu : Bibliogr. p. 127-137.

Made by the Office for Metropolotan Architecture : an ethnography of design / Yaneva, Albena

Public ISBD Titre : Made by the Office for Metropolotan Architecture : an ethnography of design Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yaneva, Albena Editeur : Rotterdam : 010 Publishers Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 1 vol. (120 p.) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-90-6450-714-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This book presents an ethnographic account of the design rhythm in the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Written as a collection of short stories, it draws on the mundane trajectories of models and architects at OMA and shows how innovation permeates design practice and everyday techniques and workaday choices set new standards for buildings and urban phenomena. In these stories of invention the 'Eureka!' moments are missing. They are replaced by routine gestures of model making, recycling, assembling, recollecting, rescaling. This enquiry into architecture-in-the-making is based on participant observation in OMA, extensive interviews with architects, and photo documentation on various projects: the Seattle Public Library, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the China Central Television (CCTV) in Beijing, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Casa da Musica in Porto, and others.
