In diesem Sammelband wird die Architektur als ein Unterstützungssystem im Dienste der Infrastruktur radikal neu positioniert. Eine Sammlung von 12 kritischen Aufsätzen und kreativen Projekten untersucht die Interaktion zwischen architektonischen Räumen und Infrastruktursystemen mit dem Ziel, auf die gegenwärtigen ökologischen, sozialen und politischen Krisen zu reagieren. Darüber hinaus präsentiert das Buch eine Auswahl von 10 spekulativen Design-Experimenten, die im Rahmen der Critical Studies in Architecture an der KTH Stockholm und im Rahmen von Design, Philosophy and Architecture an der University of Melbourne durchgeführt wurden. Mit seinem integrativen Ansatz für Pädagogik, Praxis und Theorie trägt das Buch zum Verständnis für die Verletzlichkeit alles Lebenden und für die Bedeutung der Fürsorge in der Architektur bei.

This anthology radically resituates architecture as a support system in the service of infrastructure. A collection of 12 critical essays and creative projects explore the interaction between architectural spaces and infrastructural systems with the aim of responding to contemporary environmental, social, and political crises. In addition, the book presents a selection of 10 speculative design experiments undertaken in Critical Studies in Architecture at KTH Stockholm and within Design, Philosophy and Architecture at the University of Melbourne. With its integrative approach to pedagogy, practice, and theory the book contributes to an understanding of the vulnerability of planetary life and the importance of fostering relations of care in architecture.
