Repository. 49 Methods and Assignments for Writing Urban Places' offers a set of methods and assignments intended to stimulate new approaches in architecture, urban studies, and other fields of spatial development and to invite creative, often embodied, and sometimes playful engagements with the material and immaterial dimensions of urban places. This 'Repository' collects 49 methods, defined here as systematic procedures, techniques and ways of acting, to explore, examine and discover urban places. Each method is described in a brief text and followed by a direct short assignment. Presented as a clear set of instructions, the assignment encourages and guides the reader to fully or partially explore and employ the method. As such, this Repository is intended to stay off the shelves and be a useful tool to inspire, accompany, and assist spatial professionals, researchers, students and communities alike to engage with urban places and to discover and develop responsible approaches to current urban challenges.00The Repository is a follow-up of the 'Vademecum: 77 Minor Terms for Writing Urban Places' and was compiled by an interdisciplinary group of international scholars connected through the EU COST Action network Writing Urban Places: New Narratives of the European City.

Urban Literacy. Reading and Writing Architecture bespreekt hoe literatuur waardevolle inzichten biedt in de manier waarop mensen plekken beleven, gebruiken en verbeelden. Urban Literacy stelt dat we juist in romans en gedichten Lefebvre's concept van 'geleefde ruimte' aantreffen: ruimte dus die ervaren en 'geleefd' is door gebruikers en die herinneringen en verbeeldingen oproept. Dit boek stelt daarom literaire benadering voor die gebruik maakt van instrumenten uit de literatuur, voor onderzoek en ontwerp van stad, landschap en architectuur. Aan de hand van een drieluik van perspectieven: descriptie, transcriptie en prescriptie. bespreekt Havik de potentie van zo'n literaire benadering. Het boek bevat analyses van het werk van Steven Holl, Bernard Tschumi en Rem Koolhaas en sluit af met hoofdstukken over de implicaties voor het architectuuronderwijs, onderzoek en de hedendaagse ontwerppraktijk.'This important book by Klaske Havik participates in the growing conversation about the relationships between natural (metaphoric) language and architecture. Understanding the primacy of the relationships between language and design in continuity to phenomenology's living bodily consciousness, she distances herself from previous semiotic and poststructuralist positions. The book offers valuable insights into the possibilities of literary language to generate more poetic and culturally significant environments.- Prof. Alberto Pérez-Gómez, McGill University, Montreal
