Camp for Oppositional Architecture: Theorizing Architectural Resistance

Having brought together practitioners and researchers in the first Camp for Oppositional Architecture in Berlin, June 2004, to exchange approaches and to set up a common basis for discourse on the open idea of oppositional architecture, the second Camp hosted in November 2006 by Casco - Office for Art, Design and Theory in Utrecht further explored the theoretical grounds on which such projects could develop.

During the Camp analytical approaches where presented and discussed that invent, explore and reflect on possibilities of architectural resistance: How can we conceptualize the idea of opposition within the field of architecture and planning? Which projects can we refer to as a common basis to empower our practice? How can we withstand the demands of a capitalist production of space and try to develop a non-affirmative attitude within this powerful contiguity?

This issue of An Architektur presents the revised key lectures of the gathering, as well as further short statements from the initial call for papers.
