Protest Architecture: Barricades, Camps, Spatial Tactics 1830–2023

Editat de Oliver Elser, Anna-Maria Mayerhofer, Sebastian Hackenschmidt, Jennifer Dyck, Lilli Hollein, Peter Cachola Schmal
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 ian 2024
An encyclopedia of protest movements of 190 years and their architectural manifestations.

Protest movements shape public space not only through their messages but in many cases also through their mostly temporary buildings. Frankfurt’s Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM and Vienna’s MAK—Museum of Applied Arts explore this thesis in a joint exhibition project. The exhibition and this coinciding book examine the topic further using examples spanning from 1830 to 2022.

Protest Architecture is the first international survey of the architecture of protest and presents it in all its manifold forms and, in some cases, ambivalence. It is conceived as an encyclopedia with 176 entries, supplemented by 16 expansive case studies. A preceding chronology portrays 68 protest movements and their architectural manifestations through concise texts and one image each, including examples from all over the world.

Recenzii

"The book's first 80 pages retrace a chronological history of protests and their temporary architectures, from 1830 to 2022. This section is presented in numerous chunks of a half-dozen images, all full-bleed and most of them turned 90 degrees, followed by a page of captions, in German and English. These brief texts reference entries in the a-to-z lexicon, with at least one describing the protest in more detail and others pointing to terms that are integral to the architectural aspects of protests, such as barricades, bricks, cobblestones, and even fire. Thirteen of the lexical entries serve as lengthy, multipage case studies, complete with drawings and other in-line illustrations and more full-bleed photographs. . . a highly informative reference . . .  Clearly a book for learning, not for leisure."

"Protest Architecture is a scientific yet playful encyclopaedia of a book, taking readers through the A to Z of spontaneous protest structures and must-have tools for protesters. . . Whether people are taking to the streets against authoritarianism or capitalism, war or police violence, the book offers a fascinating look at the building blocks of protests that push for change."

"As protesters across the world regroup to plot their next moves in the face of rising vigilante and police brutality, they might do well to pick up a copy of Protest Architecture, a new compendium of barricades, camps and 'spatial tactics', from 1830 to the present day. Published to coincide with an exhibition on the same topic at the MAK museum of applied arts in Vienna, co-produced with the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt, the book cuts a compelling cross-section through the last 200 years of resistance. It is a radical encyclopedia of tunnels and treehouses, lock-ons and laser pointers, ranging from 19th-century barricades to Hong Kong students’ street structures and Extinction Rebellion’s clever tensegrity towers, via tactics deployed in Burundi, Caracas and Tahrir Square."

"Coinciding with the outbreak of global student protests over the destruction of Gaza, this small, chunky volume attempts to analyse the various manifestations of the ad hoc architecture of protest over the past two centuries, from Parisian Barricades to the tent cities of Occupy and the Arab Spring. Taking the form of a kind of gazette it covers a lot of ground, in its densely packed pages and manages to be both pessimistic (few of these protests had the desired outcome) and optimistic (the protesters are ingenious, tenacious designers and mostly proved right by history)."

"Protest Architecture: Barricades, Camps, Spatial Tactics 1830–2023, an ongoing exhibition at the MAK in Vienna with the Deutsches Architekturmuseum and an accompanying book published by Park Books, documents examples from Paris’s barricades to Tahrir Square and January 6. The catalog, organized like a dictionary, provides a deep dive into almost 200 years of activism."
