CRA
In 2022, the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK, proudly introduced its book series exploring pedagogy, politics, and practice, published by Spector Books in Leipzig. Each publication in the series explores key areas of research that have emerged from the centre over the past 15 years.
These publications highlight innovative practice-based methodologies and modes of political engagement, brought together to address contemporary spatial urgencies. Organised around specific spatial issues or concerns, each book brings together contributions from thinkers and practitioners associated with the CRA and showcases the work that exemplifies this distinctive approach.
