As an eclectic meta-manual, Shelter Cookbook explores the content of these now iconic publications and relates their ways of thinking and working to the contemporary practices of Swiss architect Leopold Banchini and curator Lukas Feireiss. Shelter Cookbook is intended as a document recording a personal search for unexpected relationships and networks tied in with historical documents and contemporary architectural projects. The volume includes interviews and photo spreads and follows lines of mycological investigation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSwiss architect Leopold Banchini explores the limits of spatial design using local materials and traditional building methods. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBerlin curator Lukas Feireiss is an educator working internationally across disciplinary boundaries in the fields of art, culture, and contemporary reflexivity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLloyd Kahn is a publisher and DIY architect from California who has been influential in the self-build movement in the US and around the world since the 1970s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDylan Perrenoud is an architectural photographer from Geneva.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2025, Leipzig | softcover | 112 pp. | 36.5 x 28 cm | ISBN 978-3-95905-490-4 | English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"entropy.press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54363871117658,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/5762\/0826\/files\/Shelter_Cookbook.jpg?v=1782560375"},{"product_id":"decolonizing-nature-contemporary-art-and-the-politics-of-ecology","title":"Decolonizing Nature Contemporary Art and the Politics of Ecology","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile ecology has received little systematic attention within art history, its visibility and significance has grown in relation to the threats of climate change and environmental destruction.
