The Great Repair: A Catalog of Practices - Paperback

by Christian Hiller (Editor), Markus Krieger (Editor), Alex Nehmer (Editor)

A survival guide for how to live on a damaged planet, from caring for concrete to solar farms

Published with ARCH+.

The second volume in The Great Repair series presents a panorama of approaches that foreground methods of repair as the design paradigm for a new material culture. Within the context of the climate crisis and increasing scarcity of resources, it links architecture with art and spatial practices that challenge market- and growth-based technological fixes. This catalog builds upon the 2023 book The Great Repair: Politics for the Repair Society, which provides the theoretical basis for this practical manual.
