SEE4C. South-Eastern Europe: 4 Cities
Various authors. Edited by Alessandro Armando, Valeria Federighi, and Ludovica Rolando
Edizioni Quodlibet
What can architects do to contribute to the transformation of urban space in contemporary South-Eastern Europe? What agency do they possess, and how can they wield it? This publication is the outcome of an international research involving over two years of extensive fieldwork and exchange across Belgrade, Podgorica, Skopje, and Tirana. From small-scale interventions (both legal and illegal) to the daily practices to the administrative functions of public offices, real estate transactions, and property speculation: the book unpacks these and other phenomena through analytical texts and a rich visual apparatus of archival images, photographs, maps, and diagrams, in the hopes of sparking new encounters and paths to rethink the design of our cities.
