Reviews

"""This is one of the first books to explore the many forms of collectives and outline the collective scene (especially European) founded between 2009 and 2019."" (domus, 1073 / November 2022) *** ""Natalie Donat-Cattin legt mit Collective Processes eine wichtige und längst überfällige Dokumentation des Phänomens ""Architekturkollektiv"" in Europa vor, das auch für Nicht-Architekt*innen lesenswert ist - es inspiriert zur eigenen Selbstermächtigung im Berufsalltag."" (LAMA. Das lösungsorientierte Architekturmagazin, 89, Okt. 2022) *** ""Wie in einem tatsächlichen Gespräch mischen sich darin kritische Reflexionen der Architekt*innen mit politischen Kontextualisierungen, persönlichen Motivationen sowie Anekdoten aus der eigenen Biografie, dazwischen wurden Visualisierungen eingestreut. [Das Buch] macht deutlich, wie verschieden horizontal arbeitende Akteur*innen trotz ähnlicher Zielvorstellungen strukturiert sind. Das Resultat ist ein bunter Strauß an Einblicken in alternative Organisationsformen, die durch den Interviewcharakter des Buches gleichberechtigt zu Wort kommen. Es wäre spannend, diese Perspektiven noch durch außereuropäische Stimmen erweitert zu sehen."" (Ariann Schwarz in: BauNetz, https: //www.baunetz.de/meldungen/Meldungen-Counterpractices_in_European_Architecture_7934197.html )"
