Description
by Keller Easterling (Author)
El decimosexto ARQ DOCS, de la arquitecta, urbanista y escritora Keller Easterling, condensa muy bien los objetivos de esta serie: ideas de peso que muevan la arquitectura más allá de lo que conocemos, respaldadas por una investigación seria y escritas en una prosa atractiva de leer. El ARQ DOCS tiene dos textos. Uno es "Ciudades mundiales dobles", un ensayo en el que la autora nos invita a analizar el famoso caso de Dubái pero en función de su doble, Abu Dabi, para mostrarnos la forma en que ambas ciudades operan en tándem. El otro texto, "Historias de cosas que no pasan y que no siempre debieran resultar", nos lleva a mirar cómo hay fenómenos que ocurren lentamente: no son eventos y, por ende, no son cosas que pasan sinó que están permanentemente pasando; por eso no nos damos cuenta de ellas y casi siempre son derrotas; por eso Easterling nos dice que no siempre debieran resultar. Así este libro nos lleva por terrenos desconocidos para la arquitectura pero que, precisamente porque Keller Easterling es arquitecta, pasan a ser nuevos territorios en los que cualquiera de nosotros puede operar de ahora en adelante. The sixteenth ARQ DOCS, by the architect, urbanist and writer Keller Easterling, perfectly merges the various goals of this series: heavy ideas that move architecture beyond what we know, backed by serious research and written in a prose attractive to read. The ARQ DOCS has two texts. One is ""World City Doubles"", an essay in which she invites us to analyze the famous case of Dubai but in terms of its double, Abu Dhabi, to show us the way both cities operate in tandem. The other text, ""Histories of things that do not happen and that should not always work"", leads us to see these phenomena that slowly occur: they are not events and, therefore, they are not things that happen but that are constantly happening; that is why we do not realize of them and why they are often social defeats; that's why Easterling tells us that they should not always work. So this book takes us through unknown terrain for architecture but which, precisely because Keller Easterling is an architect, they become new territories in which any of us can operate from now on.
