UNMAKING or HOW TO RETHINK URBAN NARRATIVES takes that permanent reconfiguration as the conditio sine qua non of the contemporary city. ?It is a book on the city as we perceive it; a place to rethink and reimagine the existing built environment.
UNMAKING departs from a local area in the city of Utrecht: Werkspoorkwartier, a former industrial zone. This part of town is the departure point for contributions by artists, biologists, architects, thinkers of all sorts. They delivered drawings, speculative scenarios, photos, memories, subjective atlases, essays and interviews.
UNMAKING therewith reflects on the contemporary love story of humans with their cities.
With contributions of: Anna van Lingen & Denisa Kollarová, Anonymous, Christos Chrissopoulos, Durbavka Sekuli?, Ienke Kastelein & Hans van Lunteren, Informal Strategies, Jelle Reumer, Joris Lindhout, Kajsa Lawaczeck Körner, Mariska Gewald, Ruben van Gogh and Expodium (Bart Witte, Friso Wiersum, Nikos Doulos).
