In 2022 the Centre for Research Architecture launched its four part book series exploring Pedagogy, Politics, and Practices published by Spector Books in Leipzig.
Each of the four publications investigates key areas of research that have emerged out of the Centre, over the past fifteen years. In doing so, the publications foreground the innovative practice-based methodologies and modes of political engagement that have been assembled to better respond to contemporary spatial urgencies. As such, each of the books in the series is organised around a specific spatial issue or concern and draws together contributions from thinkers and practitioners associated with the CRA whose work exemplifies this approach.
This book series seeks to highlight the investigative spirit and collaborative methods of the CRA’s practice-led pedagogical programmes by bringing together documents of specific investigations, examples of spatial methods, snaps shots of research projects, interviews, transcripts of Roundtable discussions, collective works, and archival materials.
Editors: Riccardo Badano, Tomas Percival, Susan Schuppli
Editorial Assistant; Asli Uludag
Designers: Ariadna Serrahima & Diego Bustamante (Oficina de disseny)
The book series has been supported by The Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, Department of Visual Cultures, and the New Institute, Rotterdam.
