"Lying at the intersection of architecture, geography, design, and art, this volume of the almanac series Bracket explores the risks and extremes of man-made and natural spaces, architecture, landscapes, and urban models. Essays and artwork explore how these spaces may change in response to economic, social, and environmental conditions. Material is grouped in thematic sections on areas such as tapping resources, pushing frontiers, edging demographics, expanding processes, and hacking ecologies. Some specific topics examined include frontiers and borders in the American landscape, land management tribes, avant-garde real estate in Japan, and astronomy in the Atacama Desert. The book contains color photos, maps, and illustrations on every page." --Eithne O'Leyne, Editor, ProtoView
