Infos

This book directly links the notion of the commons with different design praxes, and explores their social, cultural, and ecological ramifications. It draws out material conditions in four areas of design interest: social design, commons and culture, ecology and transdisciplinary design. As a collection of positions, the diversity of arguments advances the understanding of the commons as both concepts and modes of thinking, and their material translation when contextualised in the domain of design questions. In other words, it moves abstract social science concepts towards concrete design debates. This text appeals to students, researchers and practitioners working on design in architecture, architecture theory, urbanism, and ecology. 

Dr. Gerhard Bruyns is an architect and urbanist. He is Associate Professor, School of Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. His research deals with aspects of spatial morphology and its impact on both the formal expression of the city and the societal conditions that are compressed into the urban landscapes of Asia. He has published on design strategies, spatial commoning, and geopolitical issues linked to spatial practices and urban morphology.

Dr. Stavros Kousoulas is Assistant Professor of Architecture Theory in the Faculty of Architecture of TU Delft. He has studied Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens and at TU Delft. He received his doctoral title cum laude from IUAV Venice participating in the Villard d' Honnecourt International Research Doctorate. He has published and lectured in Europe and abroad.
