Infrastructural Love: Caring for Our Architectural Support Systems

Infrastructure and Society

This anthology radically resituates architecture
as a support system in the service of infrastructure. A collection of 12
critical essays and creative projects explore the interaction between
architectural spaces and infrastructural systems with the aim of
responding to contemporary environmental, social, and political crises.
In addition, the book presents a selection of 10 speculative design
experiments undertaken in Critical Studies in Architecture at KTH
Stockholm and within Design, Philosophy and Architecture at the
University of Melbourne.

With its integrative approach to
pedagogy, practice, and theory the book contributes to an understanding
of the vulnerability of planetary life and the importance of fostering
relations of care in architecture.

• Infrastructure as an integral aspect of architecture
• Social and political contexts and suggestions for more relations of care
• From public, private, and commercial space to mobility and migration
