Slow space

Edición de la obra Slow space

Slow Space was formed in and by these spaces - the vacancies that, by having become the unintended archetype of contemporary urbanism, coerce an evolution of conventional visuality and inhabitation. The comprehension of an urban condition rendered through processes - machinic, regulatory, managerial - thus resides in the temporal. These durations, imbricated with the variable flows of the metropolis, form the medium for the twenty-three essays and projects that make up Slow Space. This book represents an attempt to make time material, and an effort to find an architecture and a practice that engages and catalytically reconfigures the spaces and processes of the contemporary city.
