Exploring these forms of architectural agency has in recent years been a central aspect of the work of Andr s Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation, who, in addition to their built works, pursue a research practice through the many other media of architectural production. Their projects are reactive, intervening on what already exists to demonstrate how design, politics, and criticality operate across different scales and at the intersection of multiple realities. Jaque's performances, videos, and installations--and this book, which collects a range of recent research projects--bring new subjects into the fold of architecture, focusing on alternative actors, distributions of power and representation, and the sociocultural effects of architecture. These episodes address ideas like genetic manipulation, the necessary requeering of dequeered spaces of online interaction, and the selling of modern architectural comforts in order to subvert the field from within and to contest capitalism's flattening-out of public life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than propose alternative-from-scratch futuristic or idealized realities, Jaque and the Office for Political Innovation claim that reality is produced at the intersection of things like porn, interior design, maintenance, and the territorial distribution of toxicity. Documenting a series of performances, research projects, installations, films, characters, and exhibitions, \u003ci\u003eSuperpowers of Scale\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the breadth of architectural knowledge and its possible representations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50128654270737,"sku":"CIN0879861126G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52105953640721,"sku":"CIN0879861126VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0879861126.jpg?v=1751044353"},{"product_id":"visualizing-elementary-social-studies-methods-book-john-k-lee-9780471720669","title":"Visualizing Elementary Social Studies Methods","description":"An excellent resource for social studies teachers, this book will help them learn about and reflect on their responsibilities in our society. It focuses on classroom based experiences and real world contexts. The teaching methods discussed are also closely associated to social studies subject matter so they can be integrated into the actual classroom. Each chapter also examines how social studies is situated within the larger elementary curriculum to demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the instruction.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50481172939025,"sku":"CIN0471720666G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50481173201169,"sku":"CIN0471720666A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51326775296273,"sku":"CIN0471720666VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0471720666.jpg?v=1786527983"},{"product_id":"george-clinton-book-john-k-lee-9780815681533","title":"George Clinton","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Clinton, born in July 1739 on his family’s farm in Ulster County, New York, had a life spanning the final days of the British colonial era through the early years of the new republic. He served as witness to and leading actor in the events leading to the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War. In George Clinton: Master Builder of the Empire State, John K. Lee brings new attention to New York State’s first governor. He focuses on Clinton’s extraordinary military exploits, detailing the victorious Sullivan-Clinton campaign against the Six Nations, which paved the way for the surrender of Cornwallis and ensured eventual American possession of western New York lands. This engaging biography, enriched with an array of illustrations, shines a bright light on an early American politician whose remarkable vision and leadership powerfully shaped the Empire State.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51328666009873,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51328668958993,"sku":"CIN0815681534A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51767806820625,"sku":"CIN0815681534VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52579833282833,"sku":"CIN0815681534G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0815681534.jpg?v=1786613799"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-john-k-lee.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
