New Tools is a new series examining intersections between architectural theory and practice. This first volume addresses environmental crisis and spatial justice through four essays.
Marc Angélil and Cary Siress trace the evolution from Technocene, Thermocene, Plantationocene, to Entropocene, Capitalocene and Urbicene. Elke Krasny reflects on scales of care within social justice and decolonization. Contributors explore the 'Curated Diner' as a planning intervention. Finally, Space Caviar advocates for a non-extractive approach to architecture as part of a broader economic transformation. These interdisciplinary contributions aim to reshape the discourse and discuss equitable, inclusive, and intergenerational practices.
