CUS Urban Dialogue #14 – Book Launch: Transnational Architecture and Urbanism.
Written by and Presenter: Davide Ponzini (TAU-Lab,
PoliMI)
More information on the book here.
Since the 1990s, increasingly multinational modes of urban planning and architectural design have arisen, especially concerning flagship projects, prominent buildings, and places. Drawing on his recent book titled
“Transnational Architecture and Urbanism: Rethinking How Cities Plan, Transform, and Learn”, Davide Ponzini presents problematic issues such as the spectacularization of the urban environment and the global circulation of similar plans and projects. He shows
how architects, planners, and policy makers can critically learn from practice, cope with these and other transnational issues, and put better planning in place.
