It highlights the contributions of dozens of international architects, designers and artists, and offers 12 probing, original essays. The projects and essays of UABB 2015, Re-Living the City, criticize the status quo of architecture and urbanism, but they also resist the false dream of designing a perfect city from scratch. Instead, they portray the city as the incremental product of its inhabitants and designers, who provisionally make and remake its fabric through various means at their disposal. Urbanization in the world’s fastest growing regions today has a dual character: officially-sanctioned, large-scale development shadowed by unregulated or ‘informal’ spaces built by disenfranchised migrants. UABB 2015 operates between these poles, seeking alternative paradigms to generate a more sustainable, equitable, and imaginative urbanity. It calls for clean air and water, but also for wider freedom and power to participate in remaking the city and to express one’s place in it. Through experiments and case studies, the curators have embraced a hands-on role for designers, makers, and ordinary residents alike."-- Provided by publisher. curated by Aaron Betsky, Alfredo Brillembourg, Hubert Klumpner, Doreen Heng Liu ; edited by Gideon Fink Shapiro. "This book presents the exhibits and curatorial visions of UABB 2015. Four originally separate volumes, prepared before and during the Biennale, were combined to create this rich collection of projects and essays."--Page 11. Includes bibliographical references. E-book.
