AGENDA
1B, Rue des Fabriques, Ville de Bruxelles, Belgium
AGENDA is an architecture book that occupies the territory
between a monograph, a diary, and a collection of essays, interviews,
and conversations. At its most harmless AGENDA is a catalog
of 365 days, like a diary or journal: a collective narrative, personal
and subjective. It documents the work and thinking of JDS Architects
over a specific year marked by crisis, beginning on September 15th,
2008, the day that Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The form of
the book exploits the double meaning of its title, presenting the
absurdities of day-to-day architectural practice while also staking our
intent.
Rather than a definitive direction, our agenda is a definitive
attitude - of eagerness, enthusiasm, and optimism, of criticality and
concern, of fun and inquiry. It is a directive, a motivation to act, at
times without clear knowledge of where our agenda will lead. “Change,”
the buzzword of the last U.S. presidential campaign, is the order of
the day, and the task of AGENDA is to explore what kind of
change will be needed if architects are to assume a political and
social agency in this new landscape.
Bringing together diverse forms of content, AGENDA is a
product of vigilant observation, introspection, and engagement with
outside thinkers and collaborators - artists, curators, politicians,
authors, economists, journalists, developers, educators, and architects.
AGENDA is a record of search and research, providing more questions than answers.
AGENDA is unapologetically naive.
AGENDA is an unorthodox architecture novel.
AGENDA demystifies the practice of architecture, revealing process, research, fun, and failure.
AGENDA looks to both the past and the future.
