AGENDA is a catalog of 365 days, like a diary or journal: a collective
narrative, personal and subjective. It documents the work and thinking
of JDS Architects over a specific year marked by crisis, beginning on
September 15th, 2008, the day that Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy.
The form of the book exploits the double meaning of its title,
presenting the absurdities of day-to-day architectural practice while
also staking our intent. Rather than a definitive direction, our agenda
is a definitive attitude - of eagerness, enthusiasm, and optimism, of
criticality and concern, of fun and inquiry. It is a directive, a
motivation to act, at times without clear knowledge of where our agenda
will lead. “Change,” the buzzword of the last U.S. presidential
campaign, is the order of the day, and the task of AGENDA is to explore
what kind of change will be needed if architects are to assume a
political and social agency in this new landscape. Bringing together
diverse forms of content, AGENDA is a product of vigilant observation,
introspection, and engagement with outside thinkers and collaborators -
artists, curators, politicians, authors, economists, journalists,
developers, educators, and architects.
