AA Files 76 is structured as a glossary of terms relevant to
contemporary debate in architecture. Each entry has been contributed by
a different author, and represents a personal position as much as an
attempt to frame the topic in a broader context; the issue therefore
maps both a landscape of current concerns, interests, and ambitions, and
also an overview of diverse positions and forms of practice. The authors
of this glossary are practitioners, academics, students, lawyers,
politicians, activists, and their contributions do not only seek to
explore the potential of the themes put forward, but also to question
the ways in which we can discuss space - as designers, as scholars, as
citizens.
