ABSTRACTThe contemporary European City is made up of a nexus of historically disparate forces that range from radical industrialization, vast rebuilding due to war, the rise of new infrastructural systems, to the insertion of huge areas of temporarily occupied zones for World Exhibitions and Olympic Events. Many of these forces leave ruptures, scars and traces that can be read today. More than that, these forces are playing a pivotal role in the transmutation of the city into an emergent global urban condition. |
AUTHORSBruce JohnsonDepartment of Architecture, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, University of Kansas, Lawrence, USA Bruce A. Johnson received his Undergraduate Degree in Architecture from Kansas State University where he was awarded the Skidmore, Owings and Merrill Bachelor of Architecture Traveling Fellowship, which afforded the study of sacred architecture in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. In 1994 he received the Lowenfisch Memorial Prize for his Split Level Sod House while completing his Graduate Degree in Architecture at Columbia University. He has practiced with Stanley Tigerman and is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Kansas where his research focuses on direct fabrication and systems integration within the space frame structural typology. Genevieve BaudoinDepartment of Architecture, College of Architecture, Planning and Design, Kansas State University, Manhattan, USA Genevieve Baudoin is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at Kansas State University and a Registered Architect in New Mexico. She received her BA from Oberlin College and her MArch from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. She has worked professionally with both Foster + Partners and Antoine Predock Architect. She has taught previously at the University of New Mexico and the University of Kansas, before taking her position at K-State. Her research interests are in the changing tectonic relationship of site and structure in architecture, and in developing representational tools and strategies to understand and promote these complexities. |
