The Twentieth Century witnessed an ambitious range of planning schemes for new towns and capital cities. While these projects were driven by diverse political, economic, and geographic conditions, many of them shared an enthusiasm for landscape as a medium of urbanism. Given the widely documented and generally accepted shortcomings of modern planning, many of these cities are seen as failures in social, environmental, and cultural terms.
A crash course in urban planning discussing many pressing issues facing current cities from suburbanisation and neglect of public space.

What is it?
One-week creative workshop for students and young professionals.
The duo that forms the interdisciplinary Chilean office Pezo von Ellrichshausen (Mauricio Pezo and Sofía von Ellrichshausen) have boldly declared their position that “architecture doesn’t need any explanation.” Blurring the lines between art and architecture - in what they term “architectonic art” - the duo has developed this position through various projects with particular attention to the context in which those projects exist and the context that they create. In their attempt to create experiences (architectural and otherwise), the duo has produced a compelling body of work that is conceptual and intellectual, but also sensual and physical. If their buildings explore issues of geometry, spatial experience, materiality, sequences and connections, their drawings present a layered understanding of architecture by exploring the tensions between documentation and experiencing the true narrative of a building or space.
