Assembling Nusantara: Mimicry, Friction, and Resonance in the New Capital Development

Assembling Nusantara: Mimicry, Friction, and Resonance in the New Capital Development by Henny Warsilah, Lilis Mulyani, Ivan Kurniawan Nasution
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 289 Pages | ISBN : 9819935326 | 24.2 MB

Today, the new Indonesian capital city, Nusantara, planning is being anticipated as “representing national identity,” “a model city,” or “a gift to the world,” and many other extraordinary labels. This book examines the reality of an ongoing developmental transformation of the Nusantara beyond those labels. It approaches its assemblage of humans, their works (plans, documents, policies, and others), non-human objects (biodiversity, landscape, geography, physical infrastructure, buildings, and public spaces), processes, social relationships, social infrastructures, and others. It is organized into three themes—mimicry, friction, and resonance. The mimicry illustrates the similarities (and differences) between Nusantara and other capital cities in urban narratives, imageries, and forms. The friction studies how Nusantara moves actors who do not always agree, processes that do not always align or collaboration between diverse contradicting groups that intersect.

The Geopolitics of Melting Mountains: An International Political Ecology of the Himalaya

The Geopolitics of Melting Mountains: An International Political Ecology of the Himalaya by Alexander E. Davis
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 210 Pages | ISBN : 9819916801 | 3.5 MB

The book addresses the urgent need for rethinking the geopolitics and ecology in the Himalaya, by emphasising the entanglements between these two factors. Most international relations analyses of the Himalaya emphasize the central role of the region’s states and their great power struggles. By reducing the region to its state actors, however, we miss the intense more-than-human diversity of the region, and the crucial role that the mountains play in the global environment.

It is about understanding the structural causes of self-destruction to finally thinking better and then going from pessimism to optimism.

Design Commons: Practices, Processes and Crossovers

Design Commons: Practices, Processes and Crossovers by Gerhard Bruyns, Stavros Kousoulas
English | EPUB | 2022 | 291 Pages | ISBN : 3030950565 | 21.4 MB

This book directly links the notion of the commons with different design praxes, and explores their social, cultural, and ecological ramifications. It draws out material conditions in four areas of design interest: social design, commons and culture, ecology and transdisciplinary design. As a collection of positions, the diversity of arguments advances the understanding of the commons as both concepts and modes of thinking, and their material translation when contextualised in the domain of design questions. In other words, it moves abstract social science concepts towards concrete design debates. This text appeals to students, researchers and practitioners working on design in architecture, architecture theory, urbanism, and ecology.

Mobilities in India: The Experience of Suburban Rail Commuting

Mobilities in India: The Experience of Suburban Rail Commuting by Bhaswati Mondal, Gopa Samanta
English | PDF | 2021 | 187 Pages | ISBN : 3030783499 | 5.5 MB

This book presents commuting as a new paradigm in mobility studies in the context of global south. It delves into suburban train commuting in Eastern India. The book interprets commuting not only as a means to attend work but also as a process producing kinetic event-space infused with different mobile practices, which is not determined by their locational fixity, rather can be cognized. It analyses the role of suburban train commuting in the metropolitan expansion of Kolkata, and the transformation of rural space into urban. The significant contribution of the book lies in explaining commuters’ experiencescape and the production of spatial fluidity in time capsule through commuting. It also explores the subjective reality of gendered commuting.

Urban Infrastructuring: Reconfigurations, Transformations and Sustainability in the Global South

Urban Infrastructuring: Reconfigurations, Transformations and Sustainability in the Global South by Deljana Iossifova
English | EPUB | 2022 | 331 Pages | ISBN : 9811683514 | 69.7 MB

This book is about urban infrastructuring as the processes linking infrastructural configurations and their components with other social, ecological, political, or otherwise defined systems as part of urbanisation and globalisation in the Global South. It suggests that infrastructuring is essential to urbanisation and that it is entangled with socio-spatio-ecological transformations that often have negative outcomes over time. Furthermore, it argues that infrastructuring requires an ethical positioning in research and practice in order to enhance infrastructural sustainability in the face of intersecting environmental, social and economic crises.

Compromise Planning : A Theoretical Approach from a Distant Corner of Europe by Louis C. Wassenhoven
English | EPUB | 2022 | 421 Pages | ISBN : 3030943305 | 15.3 MB

The purpose of the book is to elaborate a planning theory which departs from the plethora of theories which reflect the conditions of developed countries of the North-West. The empirical material of this effort is derived from a country, Greece, which sits on the edge between North-West and South-East, at the corner of Europe. No doubt, there is extensive international literature on planning theory in general from a bewildering variety of viewpoints.

Experiential Walks for Urban Design: Revealing, Representing, and Activating the Sensory Environment by Barbara E. A. Piga
English | EPUB | 2021 | 333 Pages | ISBN : 3030766934 | 86.2 MB

The edited volume explores the topic of experiential walks, which is the practice of multi- or mono-sensory and in-motion immersion into an urban or natural environment. The act of walking is hence intended as a process of (re-)discovering, reflecting and learning through an embodied experience. Specific attention is devoted to the investigation of the ambiance of places and its dynamic atmospheric perception that contribute to generating the social experience.
