Alter Architecture Research Collective (AARC) is an interdisciplinary group of thinkers and practitioners that come together to observe, question and distort existing strategies of cultural and spatial production. Understanding architecture as appropriation, production and organization of space, mostly governed centrally by economic logics that work to entrap subjectivity, AARC seeks to inhabit and distort these mechanism. Where counter-strategies imply simply opposition, alteration opens space for multiplicities and difference. With research as a methodology, publishing is the device chosen to intervene in the discourse of spatial production. AARC proposes a series of short publications as a site for provoking other ways to engage with increasingly fragmented space. Sourced from social interactions, experiences of everyday life, breakthroughs of collective selforganisation, it is the form to act upon respond to reality. Our work is always processual, always trying to catch up with a world that escapes our grasp. As a collective, we seek no authorship, nor authority; to dissolve and disseminate responsibility horizontally, together, as many and one. Contributions from: Andreas Rumpfhuber, Tiqqun, Mariapaola Michelotto, Giorgio Agamben and Julian Siravo. ____ Alter Architecture Research Collective (AARC) és un grup de pensadors interdisciplinaris que s ajunten per observar, qüestionar, i distorsionar estratègies existents de la producció espacial i cultural. S entén l arquitectura com a apropiació, producció i organització de l espai, majoritàriament governat per la lògica de l economia. AARC busca habitar i distorsionar aquests mecanismes. On les contra-estratègies impliquen oposició, l alteració obra un espai per la multiplicitat i la diferència. AARC proposa una sèrie de publicacions curtes com a context per provocar altres maneres d abordar de quina manera cada vegada més l espai es produeix de manera fragmentada i opera com a polaritzador. Procedent de les interaccions socials, experiències de la vida quotidiana, l autoorganització col lectiva és la manera d actuar per respondre a la realitat immediata. La feina d AARC és sempre processual, sempre intentant arribar a temps mentre el món s escapa de les nostres mans. Com a col lectiu, no es busca l autoria, es dilueix la responsabilitat de manera horitzontal i conjuntament.
