EcoAnarchism and Murray Bookchin

Слика
M urray Bookchin was born in New York City in January 1921 & was involved in the radical & labor movements of the 1930s & 1940s, as a young Communist, organizing around the Spanish Revolution, as a Trotskyite & as a labor organizer. He was expelled from the Communist party for "Trotskyist-anarchist deviations" & later broke with the Trotskyites for their authoritarian character. For more than thirty years he has been a prophetic spokesman for the ecology, alternate technology, antinuclear, & peace movements. An activist in the new left as well as the old, he was deeply involved in the civil rights movement & counterculture of the 1960s. His influence has been worldwide, & his writings have been translated into all major European languages. One of the theorists of the German Greens, he is currently active in the Green movement in the United States. Director Emeritus of the Institute for Social Ecology, & Professor Emeritus of Ramap

SPACE, CRIME AND ARCHITECTURE

Слика
The most recent issue of  Plat , an independent architectural journal published by students at Rice School of Architecture, features an essay I wrote with two of my fellow  M.E.D.  classmates. “Space, Crime, and Architecture” elaborates on some of the issues we discussed in our 2011 Yale School of Architecture research colloquium of the same name. It’s also a deeper, more academic exploration of my own personal interests in  the relationship between architecture and crime  – particularly the notion of crime as a critical tool or transgressive criticism.  Plat 2.0: If You See Something Say Something  investigates the gap “between architectural representation and the buildings it produces.” Here’s a brief excerpt from “Space, Crime, and Architecture,” slightly edited and sans footnotes: - – - Space, Crime & Architecture  is an ongoing investigation of the failure of architecture when confronted with a criminal act. This failure is not that of an unrealized utopic ambitio

Ten design lessons from Frederick Law Olmsted, the father of American landscape architecture Frederick Law Olmsted  (1822-1903), the father of American landscape architecture, may have more to do with the way America looks than anyone else. Beginning in 1857 with the design of Central Park in New York City, he created designs for thousands of landscapes, including many of the world’s most important parks. His works include Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Boston’s Emerald Necklace, Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, Mount Royal in Montreal, the grounds of the U.S. Capitol and the White House, and Washington Park, Jackson Park and the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. (The last of those documented excellently in Erik Larson’s book  The Devil in the White City .) Plus, many of the green spaces that define towns and cities across the country are influenced by Olmsted. Below, ten lessons from Olmsted’s approach: 1) Respect “the genius of a place.” Olmst

Around 5,300 BC, the people of the Lepen Whirl culture began to expand from Djerdap, the biggest gorge in Europe, domesticating animals, and starting to farm. Fields expanded, towns became cities that included small parks, and during the middle ages, defensive castles and religious monasteries created walled gardens for aromatic and healing h
