Radical cities

Written about a radical city is almost complicates. Indeed, as Miguel Luengo Angulo, Ph.D., M.Arch. Adjunct Professor of Theory of Architecture Universidad Europea de Madrid, says in his article about the radical city, « Evidently, this would prove difficult as the radical city is still not built ». This is why, we do not have real case to exemplify what a radical city could be. Nevertheless, thanks to Miguel Luengo Angulo, I found how to figure out this term; « the objective of the radical city will be to reveal the intricate system of social dynamics and cultural politics, in order to see how pernicious or perverse they may actually be. »
The drawing I did try to « to inject a lethal dose of criticism to any idea inherited from formalist urbanism » by unlighted two urban types: the residential pavilion and the block. This drawing mostly talks about how the suburbs of the city are treated. How this part of the city could continue to be a city. The urban sprawl has been treated with a strange attention. It is either a laboratory, or an endless place where could be built indefinite same houses. But, to day, the suburbs are all linked; they are like arms between cities. The scale is missing in this drawing precisely because the critic does not have scale, it is over scale.
Nowadays, whereas the Scampi starts to be demolished, the suburbs of our cities are a real issue. This « extract » part of the city has always been thought as an extending. What if now we deal with it through radical visions.

  1. Powerful collage. It is difficult to know if it is a proposal or a criticism or both.
