Description
Project Zagreb: Transition as Condition, Strategy, Practicewas initiated as a seminar at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Transition is a condition that creates opportunities for architecture and urbanism. Zagreb is in many ways the perfect site for examining the generative dynamic of transition. The city is actively preparing for Croatia's entry into the European Union and is also a city in which political and economic transition have been the status quo for at least the last century and a half. The main tasks of the project were to develop new methodologies for understanding change and difference, methodologies that make it possible to chart continuities and discontinuities, to map relationships between the local and translocal, and especially to understand how urban architectural practices evolve in relation to the evolution of the city itself.
Moving between texts, maps and diagrams, Project Zagreb reads the city as an open work, dynamic but coherent, in which architecture plays an active role in the formation of both urban practices and the city itself.
