Future of the City: Grassroots Perspectives

 
 
  • About

About

What are the dilemmas facing cities and architecture today? What makes a city of the future? How is the public realm shaped by its various users through participation and collaboration? This public event aims to address some of these questions and explore the emergence of various social consciousness movements in architecture and social design and how these relate to contemporary artistic practice.

The discussion includes case studies from Latin America amongst other examples. Speakers include Justin McGuirk author of Radical Cities alongside Andreas Lang from , a London-based non-for-profit art and architecture practice.

Biographies

Andreas Lang is an architect, researcher and educator. He is a co-founder of London based practice public works which operates in between the fields of art, architecture and design. Public works’ projects explore how the urban public realm can be shaped by its users, through participation and co-production.

Justin McGuirk is a writer and curator and has worked as the Guardian’s design columnist and editor of Icon magazine. He is also the director of Strelka Press and his writing has appeared in Observer, Times, Domus, Art Review and many other publications. In 2012 he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale of Architecture for an exhibition he curated with Urban-Think Tank.
