Written by an Iraqi architect who has lived through the trauma of several wars, 10 years of UN-imposed sanctions, an invasion, and the subsequent violence, this book captures a broad spectrum of spatial responses to trauma and presents a fresh perspective on how ordinary Iraqis create refuge across the spaces of the home, the urban environment, and border geographies. In the face of spatial wounding and the many injustices suffered by the Iraqi people, there has also been a wealth of refuge-making practices that showcase their creative and imaginative design and adaptability to change and trauma over time. Rupturing Architecture employs methods such as creative deep mapping, memory work, storytelling, interviews, and case studies of architectural responses to the geographies of war and violence. At the core of the book are the lived and felt experiences of fifteen Iraqis from across Iraq, whose resilience underscores a broader narrative of spatial justice and feminist spatial practices. The book articulates the dual nature of rupturing as both a sign of trauma and a powerful act of resistance, examining how these forces shape domesticity, urbanity, and border spaces. The concluding manifesto for spatial justice calls for a deep, integrated understanding of place, memory, and trauma, advocating for comprehensive strategies in the making of refuge spaces that also resonate in a wider, global context.

arrived a tad late, but the customer service was absolutely INCREDIBLE. never had such good service from an online shop before- they even offered to replace had it not shown up by the end of the week (luckily it did!) item was brand new (still sealed) and packaged really well- good price too for a resell. completely unscathed arriving here. 10/10, would buy from this seller/shop again in the future. thank you for answering all my questions and being so kind, olaya!

The seller packaged the Blu-ray/DVD/CD box set with care in appropriate cardboard mailers to prevent damage to the box set cover and the discs and shipped the package expeditiously. The package arrived earlier than estimated and the box set and discs were in the as-described New, Sealed, Mint condition. With free shipping, this was an incredible value. I am a repeat customer from this fantastic seller and I will be back for more. Excellent seller! 5 Stars!
