via Occupation, the 191-page full-color volume, investigates the macro - and micro–scales – in biology, formal and informal settlements, open-source networks, virtual presence, behavioral mappings – that inform how we read, claim, and intervene in our evolving territories. Occupations must be fleeting, with ambitions to the small-scale not the monumental, a microphysics or microbiology of practices. These tactics (they are not strategies as such) are covert, clandestine, make-shift, contingent and on-the-fly, small subterfuges, ruses and appropriations. They are the multitude of competing experiments, ideas, innovations, inventions, developments and proposals that together make up a map of the evolving and emerging design disciplines at any given moment. Above all, then, these practices are occupations of their disciplines, but ones fully aware of their fragile hold.”
