While the concept of "type" has been present in architectural discourse since its formal introduction at the end of the eighteenth century, its role in the development of architectural projects has not been comprehensively analyzed. This book proposes a reassessment of architectural type throughout history and its impact on the development of architectural theory and practice. Beginning with Laugier's 1753 Essay on Architecture, Unexpected Affinities: The History of Type in the Architectural Project from Laugier to Duchamp traces type through nineteenth- and twentiethth-century architectural movements and thoeries, culminating in a discussion of the affinities between architectural type and Duchamp's concept of the readymade. Includes over sixty black and white images.

Urban Labyrinths: Informal Settlements, Architecture, and Social Change in Latin America examines intervention initiatives in informal settlements in Latin American cities as social, spatial, architectural, and cultural processes.From the mid-20th century to the present, Latin America and other regions in the Global South have experienced a remarkable demographic trend, with millions of people moving from rural areas to cities in search of work, healthcare, and education. Without other options, these migrants have created self-built settlements mostly located on the periphery of large metropolitan areas. While the initial reaction of governments was to eliminate these communities, since the 1990s, several Latin American cities began to advance new urban intervention approaches for improving quality of life. This book examines informal settlement interventions in five Latin American cities: Rio de Janeiro, Medellín, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Tijuana. It explores the Favela-Bairro Program in Rio de Janeiro during the 1990s which sought to improve living conditions and infrastructure in favelas. It investigates projects propelled by Social Urbanism in Medellín at the beginning of the 2000s, aimed at revitalizing marginalized areas by creating a public transportation network, constructing civic buildings, and creating public spaces. Furthermore, the book examines the long-term initiatives led by SEHAB in São Paulo, which simultaneously addresses favela upgrading works, water pollution remediation strategies, and environmental stewardship. It discusses current intervention initiatives being developed in informal settlements in Buenos Aires and Tijuana, exploring the urban design strategies that address complex challenges faced by these communities. Taken together, the Latin American architects, planners, landscape architects, researchers, and stakeholders involved in these projects confirm that urbanism, architecture, and landscape design can produce positive urban and social transformations for the most underprivileged.This book will be of interest to students, researchers, and professionals in planning, urbanism, architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, urban geography, public policy, as well as other spatial design disciplines.

Reframing Lina Bo Bardi: Architecture as an Expanded Field offers a compelling and rigorous re-examination of one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. Born in Italy, and later naturalized in Brazil, Lina Bo Bardi pursued an interdisciplinary practice that traversed architecture, design, journalism, museology, education, and political engagement. While her work has long circulated within specialist debates, it has only recently received the sustained critical attention it warrants.This edited volume brings together an international range of contributors from diverse intellectual contexts to situate Bo Bardi’s work within broader cultural, intellectual, and historical frameworks. Organized into four sections and thirteen chapters, it traces key moments in her trajectory, from her formative years in Italy to her radical reconfigurations of architectural practice in São Paulo and Bahia. Across these contexts, the book returns to key concerns in her work: her experimental curatorial strategies, her personal and professional partnership with Pietro Maria Bardi, and her negotiation between modernism’s canonical doctrines, vernacular cultures, and environmental considerations. Rather than treating these as separate themes, the volume reads them as interconnected aspects of her architectural thinking and practice.By interweaving these dimensions, Reframing Lina Bo Bardi offers a nuanced and multifaceted account of her enduring impact on architecture, urbanism, design, and cultural production. It stands as an essential reference for scholars and students of architecture, urbanism, art history, and design, as well as for readers interested in the intersections between architecture, culture, and politics.

Focusing on the street as a socio-spatial catalyst, this book fosters a comprehensive conversation on the past, present, and future of streets and public space. While 'the street' is commonly associated with urban form or the metropolitan context of social dynamics and design practices, this interdisciplinary anthology highlights that urban design challenges are global, multidimensional, and transcalar. This critical survey of the city collects a broad scope of practices and phenomena in urbanism, architecture, activism, and participatory design. Individual chapters examine the histories, theories, geographies, architecture, and design of streets offering essential reading for scholars, professionals, students, and enthusiasts of urbanism, urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, planning, geography, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, economics, and the arts. Over 50 chapters, authored by an international and diverse group of leading academics, theorists, historians, and practitioners, expand the discourse on streets and public space.
