Description
Featuring innovative international design, architecture and spatial interventions in a trans-disciplinary exhibition and event platform and as a magazine, Talking Cities stretches the boundaries of architecture and urban design and shifts our perceptions of contemporary city spaces. It is a dense collage of statements and designs that exemplify the dialogue on reconfiguring and reactivating the marginal, residual and public spaces of our cities.
It is particularly concerned with incongruities - interzones such asthe Ruhr, risky buildings, Balkanisation, Chandigarh (Le Corbusier's from-the-ground-up capital of Punjab province).Split into five main sections (Talking Cities, Fragmented Cityscapes, Rethinking Modernism's Megavisions, Re-engaging Contested Spaces, Micro-topias), Talking Cities investigates the fragmented conditions that make up our present day urban realities. Stylishly treading the fine line between clever and clever-clever, it is a smorgasbord of ideas that provokes compulsive tasting.
