Exhibition catalogues & specific collections; History of architecture

Protest movements shape public space not only through their messages, but in many cases also through their mostly temporary buildings. Frankfurt's Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM and Vienna's MAK Museum of Applied Arts are exploring this thesis in a joint exhibition project. The exhibition and the book coinciding with it explore the topic based on examples spanning from 1830 to 2022.

Protest Architecture is the first-ever international survey of the architecture of protest and presents it in all its manifold forms and, in some cases, ambivalence. It is conceived as an encyclopedia with around 170 entries, supplemented by 14 more expansive case studies. A preceding chronology portrays some 80 protest movements and their architectural manifestations through concise texts and one image each, including examples from all over the world, such as the 1830 July Revolution in Paris, the 1848 March Revolution in Berlin, the 1911 Sugar Workers Strike in Queensland (Australia), the 1936-37 General Motors Sit-down Strike in Flint, MI (USA), the 1969-98 Troubles in Northern Ireland, Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen since 1971, the 1986 People Power Revolution in Manila, the 1999 WTO Protests in Seattle, WA (USA), the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions on Cairo's Tahrir Square and Manama's Pearl Roundabout, the 201314 Euromaidan uprisings in Kyiv, the 201516 #FeesMustFall student protests in Pretoria, the 2019 Acampamento Terra Livre in Brasilia, the 202021 Indian Farmers Protests, and the 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.

Reviews for Protest Architecture: Barricades, Camps, Spatial Tactics 1830–2023

"""The book's first 80 pages retrace a chronological history of protests and their temporary architectures, from 1830 to 2022. This section is presented in numerous chunks of a half-dozen images, all full-bleed and most of them turned 90 degrees, followed by a page of captions, in German and English. These brief texts reference entries in the a-to-z lexicon, with at least one describing the protest in more detail and others pointing to terms that are integral to the architectural aspects of protests, such as barricades, bricks, cobblestones, and even fire. Thirteen of the lexical entries serve as lengthy, multipage case studies, complete with drawings and other in-line illustrations and more full-bleed photographs. . . a highly informative reference . . . Clearly a book for learning, not for leisure.""-- ""A Weekly Dose of Architecture"""
