Cities experiencing trauma dominate the daily news. Images of blasted buildings or events such as Hurricane Katrina exemplify the sense of 'immediate impact'. But how is this trauma to be understood in its aftermath, and in urban terms? What is the response of the discipline to the post-traumatic condition? On the one hand, one can try to restore and recover everything that has passed, or otherwise see the post-traumatic city as a resilient space poised on the cusp of new potentialities. While repair and reconstruction are automatic reflexes, the knowledge and practices of the disciplines need to be imbued with a deeper understanding of the effect of trauma on cities and their contingent realities. This issue will pursue this latter approach, using examples of post-traumatic urban conditions to rethink the agency of architecture and urbanism in the contemporary world. Post-traumatic urbanism demands of architects the mobilisation of skills, criticality and creativity in contexts in which they are not familiar. The post-traumatic is no longer the exception; it is the global condition.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49662059086097,"sku":"GOR006187486","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51156132167953,"sku":"NIN9780470744987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52585476522257,"sku":"NLS9780470744987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0470744987.jpg?v=1778147067"},{"product_id":"rights-of-future-generations-book-adrian-lahoud-9783775747035","title":"Rights of Future Generations","description":"The present state of environmental crisis is not an accident of history, but rather the result of a war waged along social, techni-cal, and mental lines—a war against future generations. Climate change is the symptom of the eradication of alternative perspectives on what it means to live and to coexist.It is the consequence of a single, pathological mode of existence dominating all others. Which ecologies sup-port this state of things, and which ecologies can resist it? Which conditions produce non-exploitative relationships between hu-mans and other beings, between those who are here, those who have gone, and those yet to come? The intergenerational per-spective is at the heart of all such questions.  The inaugural Sharjah Architecture Triennial, titled Rights of Fu-ture Generations, includes commissioned works by architects, artists, activists, choreographers, and scientists examining sites of resistance, struggle, emancipation, and experimentation. The twenty-seven essays featured in Conditions—the first of two volumes published in conjunction with the Triennial—chronicle some of these sites. From spiritual geographies of trade in the Indian Ocean, to the unwritten transmission of land title in the Ganges Delta, this is a book about architecture’s fundamental role in imagining other forms of coexistence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51065150210321,"sku":"NIN9783775747035","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51444092567825,"sku":"GOR011941153","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3775747036.jpg?v=1751317853"},{"product_id":"rights-of-future-generations-bilingual-edition-book-adrian-lahoud-9783775748728","title":"Rights of Future Generations (Bilingual edition)","description":"Students committed to environmental protection and the preservation of their rights and those of future generations set an example: It is not just the present that makes clear demands of us, but the future does, as well. This applies not only to ecological responsibility, but also to a serious culture of remembrance, a responsible approach to colonial history and diaspora, and political conscientiousness. The first Sharjah Architecture Triennial 2019 is dedicated to these topics. Hatje Cantz published an anthology in the year of the event, which compiles the results and consequences for future architects. The second volume now focuses on a more general look at the challenges that a future worth living in will bring. The transdisciplinary contributions include articles by renowned scientists, as well as artistic works on the topic.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51555288154385,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51555288318225,"sku":"GOR014326864","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53013736128785,"sku":"GOR014696080","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3775748725.jpg?v=1765447332"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-adrian-lahoud.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
