We are all making decisions. And we are all watching each other improvise. Together, we are improvising. Decisions become shared ones.

Taking Ivan Illich's understanding of conviviality as departure point, the essays, conversations, stories, and images in the book reflect on the specificities of collaborative practices as situated experiments, as well as on their possible roles in the creation of convivial societies. Exploring contemporary conditions of togetherness, learning, and working, the book is not a \"how-to\" guide, but an invitation to cooperatively write new convivial narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe transdisciplinary design-build network constructlab takes a dynamic approach to uniting architectural concepts and construction with an emphasis on collaboration. Breaking with traditional divisions of labor, the organization engages a team of multi-talented designer-builders--as well as sociologists, urban planners, graphic designers, curators, educators, and web developers--who carry the creative process from the drafting table into the field, making it possible for designs to respond to the possibilities and constraints posed by materials, site, environment, and utilization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoanne Pouzenc is an architect, educator, and independent curator working on collaborative processes and learning environments through architecture, cultural production, and editorial work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlex Römer is an architect-carpenter based in Berlin.
