Author: Francesco Marullo
Drawing on the treatises of Serlio and Dürer, Logistics Takes Command revisits the work of Oswald Matthias Ungers and the Archizoom Associati group, prominent figures in 20th-century architectural culture who understood, almost clairvoyantly, the influence of logistics and the circulation of goods and knowledge as one of the most ubiquitous spatial technologies of the contemporary world: non-scalar, unbridled, calculating, ruthless, and generic, logistics—linked to Renaissance military speculation in the 16th and 17th centuries, the transnational economy of the 19th century, war as an eminently infrastructural technology of the 20th century, and the warehouses of the 21st century—has shaped the architecture of the city and reached the knowledge factory of the university. In this second installment of the trilogy Arquitectura Genérica y Trabajao Vivo, Marullo exposes architecture as a form of logistics and logistics as the art of class warfare, and points to the urgent need to update the categories through which the politics of space and the role of architecture are thought about, that of those who practice it and, especially, that of those who—through economic, military, and institutional means—have put them at the service of their precarious imagination.
