Produktbeschreibung
Written between 2016 and 2019, before the watershed of lockdown and the Great Reset into stakeholder capitalism it initiated, the articles collected in this book were originally published on the website of Architects for Social Housing (ASH), the London-based architectural practice. They were written, therefore, against the background of the crisis of housing affordability created by the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-08 and the collusion of the architectural profession in how the financial institutions responsible for it turned what should have been their accountability and regulation into a financial stepping stone to where we are now. Many of these articles came out of the various practices of ASH in exposing and challenging this collusion, which gives this book a practical foundation in the relationship between finance capitalism, government housing policy and property development largely absent from academic studies based on other academic studies. So although its case studies look back 900 years to the origins of current land ownership in Britain and include some key moments and buildings in the history of modern architecture, the focus of this book is how the practice of architecture can move beyond the impasse at which it finds itself today, which begins with identifying what has produced it.
