Bracket [On Sharing]
- Bracket [On Sharing] examines spatial design work and theoretical papers that offer contemporary models of sharing
- From recent discussions on the Sharing Economy and co-living, to shared resources at the individual to infrastructural scale, [On Sharing] investigates how design can produce innovative ways to share space, time, or resources to foster a more equitable and collective society
- In a society moving towards privatization, individualism, and spatial distancing, sharing reminds us of what we hold in common
- The book features 23 articles and 16 design projects that provide an in-depth analysis of the potentials of sharing
Bracket [On Sharing] considers the historic roots of sharing and their relationship to contemporary models of sharing. Sharing is one of humanity’s most basic traits; we intrinsically recognise the benefits of pooling resources within a community in order take advantage of varied abilities and access in order to fulfill needs. The impact of sharing goes beyond simply satisfying the necessities for survival and extends itself into the social and cultural dimensions of our communities. In constructing an urban commons, composed of collectively managed and shared resources, we shape our physical, social, and cultural environments to achieve some degree of shareabilty — whether of goods, services, or experiences. These historic and evolved cultural roots ensure that sharing is inevitably part of our daily lives. Yet, its central role in how we organise and manage our cities is increasingly threatened. Within a context of increased emphasis on the individual and privatization of the commons, sharing holds much promise for re-evaluating our economic, political, and social relations to equitably distribute resources and services at the scale of both the individual and the collective.
