Architects should take a position against inequality and practice accordingly. With these thirty short, manifesto-like texts—building blocks for a new kind of architecture—\u003ci\u003eSpatializing Justice\u003c\/i\u003e offers a practical handbook for confronting social and economic inequality and uneven urban growth in architectural and planning practice, urging practitioners to adopt approaches that range from redefining infrastructure to retrofitting McMansions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThese building blocks call for expanded modes of practice, through which architects can imagine new spatial procedures, political and economic strategies, and modalities of sociability. Challenging existing exclusionary policies can advance a more experimental architecture not bound by formal parameters. Architects must think of themselves as designers not only of things but of civic processes, complicate the ideas of ownership and property, and imagine new sites of research, pedagogy, and intervention. As one of the texts advises, “The questions must be different questions if we want different answers.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCopublished with Hatje Cantz Verlag Return the Body to Democracy 7\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor Michael Sorkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilding Blocks: An Introduction 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBUILDING BLOCKS 18\u003cbr\u003e01 Confront Inequality \u003cbr\u003e02 Construct the Political \u003cbr\u003e03 Recuperate Institutional Memory\u003cbr\u003e04 Decolonize Knowledge\u003cbr\u003e05 Radicalize the Local\u003cbr\u003e06 Visualize Urban Conflict\u003cbr\u003e07 Transgress Borders\u003cbr\u003e08 Reimagine Jurisdiction\u003cbr\u003e09 Complicate Autonomy \u003cbr\u003e10 Temporalize Infrastructure \u003cbr\u003e11 Translate the Informal\u003cbr\u003e12 Perform Citizenship\u003cbr\u003e13 Socialize Density\u003cbr\u003e14 Rethink Ownership\u003cbr\u003e15 Resist Privatization\u003cbr\u003e16 Demand Generative Zoning\u003cbr\u003e17 Mobilize Neighborhoods as Political Units\u003cbr\u003e18 Validate Everyday Work\u003cbr\u003e19 Intervene in the Developer's Proforma\u003cbr\u003e20 Co-Develop with Communities\u003cbr\u003e21 Transform Housing Beyond \"Units\"\u003cbr\u003e22 Transcend Hospitality\u003cbr\u003e23 Democratize Access\u003cbr\u003e24 Activate Public Space\u003cbr\u003e25 Curate New Urban Pedagogies\u003cbr\u003e26 Civicize Platforms\u003cbr\u003e27 Design Meditation\u003cbr\u003e28 Talk to the Enemy Adversary\u003cbr\u003e29 Problematize \"Sustainability\"\u003cbr\u003e30 Retool Ourselves\u003cbr\u003eNotes 143\u003cbr\u003eColophon 144Teddy Cruz is Professor of Public Culture and Urbanization in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego, and Director of Urban Research in the UCSD Center on Global Justice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFonna Forman is Professor of Political Theory at the University of California, San Diego, and Founding Director of the Center on Global Justice.
