Richard Holbrooke is an architect. While he is frequentlycalled the ‘architect’ of the Dayton Peace Agreement,the title is not simply a metaphor. To negotiate an end tothe Bosnian War, Holbrooke acted as an architect, draw -ing on an understanding of spatial organization, large-scale planning, and architectural techniques to design anation. He employed urbanistic strategies, drafting thefuture political boundaries to incorporate multiple, oftenconflicting demands concerning access to trans por ta tionroutes, the distribution of infra struc tures, the locationsof resources and populations, and the physical manage -ment of urban centers. Just as importantly, Hol brookeorchestrated the space of the talks, using his spatialknowledge to design the relations of power of the nego -tiation. He led the warring parties from the site ana lysisof the existing Balkan territories, to the schematic designof the preconditions for nego ti ation, to the design devel -opment at the site of the talks in Dayton, to the con struc -tion drawings that mapped the future boundaries, andthrough the construction administration carried out byNATO to ensure that his design was executed. He workedthrough multiple scales of intervention, from the masterplan of the geo political divisions in Bosnia, to the com -position of the buildings at Dayton, to interior details likethe table at which the treaty was signed, asserting hisposition through spatial relationships and symbolic power.

Holbrooke’s activities in the field of architecturedemonstrate potentials that other architects mightchoose to explore. Peacemakers must become architectsin the process of negotiation, but architects alreadypossess the knowledge necessary to approach the mostcomplex and intractable conflicts. The world needsarchitects more than ever.

Jeffrey Inaba, Director

From its inception in 2005, C-Lab has relentlessly explored experimental forms of architectural communication.

Its mission as a research think tank is to generate new observations about cities and to develop informative, provocative channels to broadcast its findings. The lab’s work provides insights on the contemporary city through the lenses of architecture, the global economy, culture, and government. It gives context and overview to the dynamics of urbanization, describing complex exchanges and relationships in concise summarizations. It processes diverse types of information to reveal connections between organizations unaware of their common interests or shared risk. The lab organizes this knowledge into presentations that are crafted to communicate in accessible and immediately relevant terms. It addresses the concerns of decision makers from the public and private sectors, architects, arts and culture professionals, and urban development experts, bringing attention to architecture issues of public consequence. Reinventing the way architects portray ideas, the lab conveys its harvested intelligence through a range of formats, including widely acclaimed installations, urban plans, award-winning publications, video, and public events, using every occasion as a creative opportunity to design aesthetically resonating works. C-Lab gives form to content.

The lab’s six years of output center around three operative obsessions – uncontrollable practices undertaken to intensify public and architectural debates: Bond, Harness, Leak.

This special edition presents a sampling of C-Lab projects through these trajectories, drawing connections and new relationships among the works themselves.

The archive is a site of espionage, a rich field of deep knowledge ripe for intelligence gathering. C-Lab finds pleasure in evidence collection and pattern recognition. By compiling related but discrete elements, unforeseen causations emerge, charging previously benign scraps of information with complicity in broader schemes. Arrangement transforms these pieces into narratives, unearthing hidden relationships that comprise urban conspiracies.Here, research is a two-way street. Extract to abstract; abstract to extract. Spies, like storytellers, dig deeper into the details of the matter in order to harness their constructive potential.

Chengdu CrescentThe Dayton Agreement Map

A source of unbound inspiration is the work of the late Richard Holbrooke who is perhaps best known as the ‘Architect’ of the Dayton Peace Accords. As the US special envoy to the Balkans, Holbrooke crafted an intricate environment that facilitated the successful negotiation of an end to Bosnian War. He employed urbanistic strategies, drafting the future political boundaries to incorporate multiple, often conflicting, demands concerning access to transportation routes, the distribution of infrastructure, the locations of resources and populations, and the physical management of urban centers. Just as importantly, Holbrooke orchestrated the space of the talks, using his spatial knowledge to design the relations of power among the negotiating parties. He worked through multiple scales of intervention, from the master plan of the geopolitical divisions in Bosnia, to the composition of the buildings at Dayton’s Wright Air Base, to interior details such as the table at which the treaty was signed, asserting his position through spatial relationships and symbolic power. C-Lab too believes in architecture at all scales and seeks to find effective vehicles to shape the built environment and space of geo-politics ranging from regional plans and visions for cities to urban furniture.

LeakLeaks infiltrate. They cause chronic disruption in the everyday streams of consciousness. In urban planning there is the idea that you have to let go of some things – to accept small leaks – to retain control of others. The line between risk management and loss of mental control is fine. Speculation is not an idle waste, as it’s meant to seep in and trickle into discourse through informational osmosis. Leakage allows subversive thoughts to infiltrate normative situations or dormant ideas, planting the status quo with pools of doubt that may ultimately bear elegant mongrel thoughts. Here, a slow subterranean stream flows below the currents of global transmissions. Knowledge is spread and debates are spurred, which like all leaks, can’t be traced back to their original source.

Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was beautiful palace

surrounded by elaborate gardens. The gardens contained all the flora

and fauna of the kingdom.

One day, the King received an encyclopedia of his kingdom as a gift

from a neighboring ruler. The book was perfectly complete, so much

so that it contained one thing the King had never heard of, let alone

seen – an Ostrich, a gigantic bird that cannot fly, but could run faster

than a lion. It looked and sounded so strange that the King nearly

thought it was a lie, but he knew his neighbor was wise.

BondA concept generator in a surrealist mode, Bond is a key operation in C-Lab’s work. In a paranoiac cum ecstatic gambit, fresh ideas are tied together to achieve unknown pleasures, turning one-night conceptual stands into relationships with meaningful connections. Drawing parallels between seemingly unrelated phenomena bares alternative strategies, forms, points of view. Bringing instant legibility to these connections through an economy of means pries open new spaces for intervention; new grounds for initiating projects.
