Undisciplined: Of Architectural Nomadism and the Rebellious Practice

Undisciplined is concerned with questions of the transformative effects of crisis in architecture as a discipline. Framing the discussion with narratives that immerse the reader in spaces overshadowed by conflict, Undisciplined posits an unorthodox form of architectural production engaged with the contingent elaboration of new and increasingly necessary spatial narratives.

Undisciplined is concerned with questions of the transformative effects of crisis in architecture as a discipline. This concern is addressed through the critical examination of a hybrid body of practice-based work, which, although founded on the discipline of architecture, results from its contingent amalgamation with other fields, including contemporary art, politics, and theory. The book reflects on projects developed in contexts of profound sociopolitical instability (i.e., corruption, violence, poverty, and exile), including informal settlements in Venezuela that provide the background to the discussion of projects undertaken elsewhere. In this process, the book 



interrogates the volatility of the crisis refrain, articulating a framework to propose an undisciplined form of architectural and spatial practice.
