Architecture has long been a productive site for artistic practices that address society, politics, technology, and the environment. This box set explores how architecture informs contemporary experiences and propositions in the arts and culture.

Beyond architecture's professional boundaries and disciplinary mandates, the publications in this box set highlight alternative modes and spaces in which architecture takes hold: Yona Friedman’s About Cities presents the late Hungarian-born architect’s drawings of his ever-radiant urban vision; Elizabeth Gill Lui’s Building Diplomacy provides a photographic atlas mapping the politics and desire of American ambassadorial architecture abroad, and; Benjamin H. Bratton’s Dispute Plan to Prevent Future Luxury Constitution delivers a delirious theory-fiction of architecture’s dystopian fantasies of control and violence—to name only a few.

With the selected titles, we hope to feature how artists, researchers, and writers engage, contest, and transform architecture and its histories, disciplines, and institutions. This box set is recommended for a general readership.
