ARCH+ is subtitled 'Journal for Architecture and Urbanism' and its latest release is 'The Great Repair: The Politics of the Repair Society – A Reader' and is the print component of project that includes an exhibition and event programme at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin.
The publishers say 'The modern capitalist era, with its emphasis on growth and progress and an economic system based on consumption, wastage and resources being bled dry, has led to the ruthless exploitation of people and nature. As a counter to this, 'The Great Repair' project puts forward the idea of a repair society centred on practices of care, maintenance, and mending. The Great Repair: The Politics of the Repair Society – A Reader presents a theoretical introduction to the project, which arose as a collaboration between ARCH+, the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich, and the Department of Geography and Spatial Planning at the University of Luxembourg.'
