{"product_id":"9789493148222","title":"Co-Machines by Michael Maginness","description":"Inspired by the recent tendency among architects and designers to opt out of traditional office work in favour of creating self-initiated interventions in public space,`Co-machines' maps out a new architectural movement motivated by practices of place-making, occupying and squatting, and alternative economies.  Ecological or technological in scope, all the interventions are mobile and nearly all of them are performed without permission from city planners. Presenting a selection of international projects by emerging designers, `Co-machines: Mobile Disruptive Architecture' shows the life of the alternative, grassroots and DIY with an independent spirit.  It seeks out approaches and strategies to complement established urban planning and city-building, and show the beauty and fun in initiative.  In a range of ways, `Co-machines' raises questions about the function of architectural permanence, the opportunities for social, ecological, ethical or dynamics otherwise in urban planning and the scope of architecture at large.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56313352225141,"sku":"9789493148222","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9789493148222.jpg?v=1762826705","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9789493148222","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
