Spatial Tensions in Urban Design: Understanding Contemporary Urban Phenomena de Ianira Vassallo

Spatial Tensions in Urban Design: Understanding Contemporary Urban Phenomena: The Urban Book Series

Editat de Ianira Vassallo, Michele Cerruti But, Giulia Setti, Agim Kercuku
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 ian 2023
This book provides an original research perspective to the field of contemporary urban conflicts. Even though violent conflicts have transformed cities during the XX century, it is nowadays possible to identify the phenomenon of “Tensions” as a specific contemporary both social and spatial urban changes catalyst.

Through a collection of essays from various disciplines focusing on international case studies—from India to Europe to Latin America— the publication explores the multifaceted concept of “spatial tensions” as a lens for better understanding contemporary urban transformations. While tensions often depend on spatial dispositives and superstructures, they also offer a powerful key for design practices and strategies.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book provides an original research perspective in the field of contemporary urban conflicts. Even though violent conflicts have transformed cities during the whole XX century, it is nowadays possible to identify the softer phenomenon of “Tensions” as a specific contemporary both social and spatial urban changes catalyst.

Through a collection of essays from various disciplines focusing on international case studies—from India to Europe to Latin America—the publication explores the multifaceted concept of “spatial tensions” as a lens for better understanding contemporary urban transformations. While tensions many times depend on spatial dispositives and superstructures, they also offer a powerful key for design practices and strategies.
