Protest movements shape public space not only through their messages, but in many cases also through their - mostly temporary - buildings. Frankfurt’s Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM and Vienna’s MAK - Museum of Applied Arts explored this thesis in a joint exhibition project. Exhibition and this book coinciding with it, explore the topic based on examples spanning from 1830 to 2022. Protest Architecture is the first-ever international survey of the architecture of protest and presents it in all its manifold forms and, in some cases, ambivalence. It is conceived as an encyclopedia with 176 entries, supplemented by 13 more expansive case studies. A preceding chronology portrays 68 protest movements and their architectural manifestations through concise texts and one image each, including examples such as the 1830 July Revolution in Paris, the 1848 March Revolution in Berlin, the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions on Cairo’s Tahrir Square, and the 2013–14 Euromaidan uprisings in Kyiv.
