Summary:

Dieser Sammelband möchte die Grenzen der Disziplin Architektur erschüttern: Indem er die Begriffe des (Be-)Wohnens und der Vertreibung – und somit die Rolle der Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner selbst – in den Mittelpunkt stellt, hinterfragter die Grenzen des konventionellen architektonischen Denkens. Die Herausgeberinnen beleuchten die Thematik des Wohnens in Vertreibung aus interdisziplinären und internationalen Perspektiven. Das Sichtbarmachen von Praktiken des Wohnens und der Raumaneignung regt darüber hinaus zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen architektonischer Produktion und Autorenschaft an.

This anthology aims to destabilize the limits of the discipline of architecture by focusing on the core concepts of inhabitation and displacement. This, by extension, centralizes the figure of the inhabitant and interrogates the limits of conventional architectural thinking. The editors shed light on the topic of displacement from interdisciplinary and international perspectives. By rendering visible the practices of living and spatial appropriation, this volume also encourages critical engagement with questions of architectural production and authorship.
