Metropolis stripped

Archilab 2004 - The Naked City

October 13-25, 2004

Orleans, France

“The radically increased mobility of individuals and whole populations produces new relationships between parts of the city, cities among each other and between the individuals that inhabit them … In the contemporary city a multitude of different groups and organizations exist next to each other … The new dymanics of the city asks for new methods of organization and control.

How do architecture and urbanism deal with these phenomena? … What will be the role of urbanism in the near future and how will it be embedded in a new public realm?”
