In my years spent at UTK moving towards tenure, working with open source platforms and communities has been a significant area of growth for me. This book dispels naive notions about online collaboration while acknowledging the sheer labor required of individuals for the maintenance of open source software. At its core, it's a book about people and the challenges we must face to work effectively together.
Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software
On the occasion of Peter Fernandez's promotion to Professor
1. The title brought a smile to my face. This concert comes from 1989, twenty-four years into their career and widely considered a high point (with more to come). 2. DVDs and similar formats present a preservation challenge for libraries. This concert cannot be found on streaming music platforms; it can be accessed through an audience recording on the Internet Archive. 3. Specific songs resonate with me and capture a range of ambivalent thoughts, hopes, and feelings.

Bryan Cantley's work has been a source of guidance to me and many others, pioneering trajectories in thinking and making that have opened venues and given opportunities to new ways of conceiving architecture that are not limited to commissioned assignments or built products. By doing so, Cantley's work and writing carved out a space for many designers that conventional architectural disciplines have excluded. The work and essays in this book will continue to inspire many generations of thinkers and designers to come.
Speculative Coolness: Architecture, Media, the Real, and the Virtual
On the occasion of Ulli Sczesni's promotion to Senior Lecturer
I choose this book, because I'm a German instructor and we have many master and phd graduates, who study the German language (it might be also of interest for some undergraduates). This book is used by many German universities to obtain a degree in German. I believe that students will benefit from this book.
