English | ISBN: 9462984913 | 2021 | 194 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Temporary urbanism has become a distinctive feature of urban life after the 2008 global financial crisis. This book offers a critical exploration of its emergence and establishment as a seductive discourse and as an entangled field of practice encompassing architecture, visual and performative arts, urban regeneration policies and planning. Drawing on seven years of semi-ethnographic research, it explores the politics of temporariness from a situated analysis of neighbourhood transformation, media representations and wider political and cultural shifts in austerity London. Through a longitudinal engagement with projects and practitioners, the book tests the power of aesthetic and cultural interventions and highlights tensions between the promise of vacant space re-appropriation and its commodification. Against the normalisation of ephemerality, it presents a critique of the permanence of temporary urbanism as a glamorisation of the anticipatory politics of precarity which are transforming cities, subjectivities and imaginaries of urban action.

Free Download Murray Grant, Peter Pallett, "Temporary Works: Principles of Design and Construction"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0727741772 | PDF | pages: 379 | 52.4 mb
Temporary works have long been the poor relation of the construction process. Only when spectacular accidents have occurred, resulting in injuries and deaths, have they been given wide attention by the industry and the popular press. Yet there is little in the construction field that can be building without their use. Indeed, they form the interface between design and construction. Fully up-to-date with acts, codes (including Eurocodes), CDM regulations and forms of contract, Temporary Works presents a valuable reference to the method and theory, providing ideas and solutions for all aspects of temporary works.

Free Download Enduring Work: Experiences with Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program by Catherine E. Connelly
English | May 15, 2023 | ISBN: 0228016681 | 228 pages | PDF | 2.69 Mb
If you believed most of what’s said about the Canadian Temporary Foreign Worker program, you might naturally assume that there is a trade-off between workers’ poor experiences with the program and employers’ significant benefits. In reality, the experiences of workers are far worse than is commonly acknowledged, while employers are not reaping as much benefit as the public might suppose.In Enduring Work Catherine Connelly draws on over one hundred interviews with people connected to different aspects of this program, analyzing their experiences from the perspective of organizational behaviour and human resources management. She compares the lived reality of agricultural workers, in-home caregivers, and low- and high-wage workers, showing how and why each group is vulnerable to mistreatment, albeit in different ways. She further explores how employment agencies and immigration consultants contribute to program abuses. Critically, Enduring Work provides the perspectives of employers, distinguishing between the reluctant users of the program who follow the rules and the reckless users who do not.Groundbreaking in its analysis of an issue very much in the news, Enduring Work unpacks the harms within Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker program and offers nuanced strategies to improve it.
