| Abstract | "In this timely volume, Elisa Dainese and Aleksandar Stanicic have assembled a roster of contributors who can speak to the effects of war and sectarian strife on the built environment in various war-torn areas. The essayists discuss creative strategies for rebuilding and restablizing damaged sites, often within the context of continuing animosities; the establishment of design coalitions to work with local communities on reconstruction; the designing of emergency settlements; the development of new and customized strategies for rebuilding diverse parts of the savaged world; the teaching of culturally sensitive design practices to architects and urbanists going to such sites; and many other topics. Dainese and Stanicic describe the intentional, targeted attacks on art and infrastructure--often by sophisticated long-range weaponry meant to destroy not only physical structures but also political unity and cultural memory--as "the weaponization of art and architecture." And though there are some works on wartime destruction of specific citites and landscapes, the editors contend that there is a dearth of publications on design after conflict, which this volume aims to address"-- Provided by publisher. |
