"Planet Krvavica – Surveying Local Futures Through Practices of Imperfect Care" is now beautifully printed and soon available to all. A book about togetherness, situatedness, world-making and about new directions of care, architecture, places and solidarities. 📚🌱 co-published with DAI-SAI
Photo of the book in a kitchen, beside to a bit dirty stove. The name and ISBN of the book written over the photo.Short abstract of what the book is about, in black letters over a pink-ish background.

At the top, in a pixelated or dot-style font, it reads “PLANET KRVAVICA.” Below that is a more formal serif title:
“Surveying Local Futures Through Practices of Imperfect Care.”

An ISBN number appears underneath: 978-1-3990879-3-2.

The central portion features a long, italicized quotation discussing architecture, care, and planetary thinking. It reflects on how urban futures are interconnected, emphasizing relationships between local and global contexts, and between human and non-human systems.List of contributors to the book.Photo of the book in a kitchen, beside to a stove with an italian coffee maker on it.

Every time I'm about to start working on the new semester's syllabus and recommended reading for the students, I always go back to Hélene Frichot’s introduction on her book 'Dirty Theory: Troubling Architecture.' So inspiring it is.
Photo of a book spread, higligted the following:

Theories, ways of actively thinking-
with, can be derived from all kinds of sources and situations. The dirty theorist is usually something of
an avid collector, accumulating not just the regular set readers–written by the usual theoretical suspects–but pamphlets, brochures, maps and postcards, snatches of conversation and grabs of social media feed, accepting all the while that distinctions between low and high culture are easily undone. (An old lesson we keep forgetting, caught up as we are in a will to
purification.) What was once sacred and revered in the next moment may well be expelled as abject, judged to be without sense, useless. The dirty theorist follows
the materials, tracks the soiled effluent, observing from where it came and the direction that it appears to be taking. She is unafraid of selecting at will from the
sedimented archive of thinking.
Dirty theory messes with mixed disciplines.

Showing up in ethnography, in geography, in philosophy, it can just as well find a home in architecture,
design and the creative arts. Dirt and art have an existing long-term relationship, whether rendered
as negative sculptures extracted from the earth, or maintenance manifestos or soil re-valued as
currency.

Most powerfully, following the dirt can be a creative movement, a profound relationship with our local environment-worlds.
