The research explores the plethora of ideas and ideologies that have shaped and reshaped cities in profound ways, fluctuating between the world of concrete reality and the multiple universes that exist in lucid prose, poetic visions, and the outrageous imaginations. Myth and belief. Tradition and logic. Revolution and marginalisation. Ignorance and hubris. Sins and excess. Seasons and climate. Continuously interacting, shifting to enlighten and to enrage, these themes combine critical thinking with deep-rooted influences and new agencies that are a true sign of the times. The 18 illustrated speculative case studies and over 150 drawings provide an abundance of curious imaginings, diverse provocations and satirical criticism.
