I had a great time during the seminar last week at the AA, where I presented my recent research on planning’s role in the destruction of working-class centralities through several historical illustrations from Germany and the US. This is a new episode of my ‘social history of planning’ project and it was the first time…

Next week I will be giving a keynote speech at the DO.CO.MO.MO. Conference (Iberian section) in San Sebastián. My talk is entitled ‘Modernism and the Right to the City’, which will strike many as contradictory, since Lefebvre’s notion synthesized his decade-long criticism of Modernist-oriented urban development in postwar France—grands ensembles, ZUPs, etc. In my lecture,…

Charles Waldheim presents his book Landscape as Urbanism: A General Theory (Princeton University Press, forthcoming) at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. The talk includes an interesting discussion about the discursive constitution of disciplines. Waldheim draws on Harvey’s notion of ‘spatial fix’ to identify particular moments in the history of architecture, landscape architecture and urbanism…

Los más interesados en la conexión entre arquitectura y política tienen un excelente foro en la revista-web-blog Architecture_MPS, con una amplia colección de contenidos. La mayor parte de las aportaciones en la revista son foráneas pero me ha sorprendido encontrar entre los Chomsky, Frampton o Libeskind a nuestro Antonio Miranda, grande entre los grandes. La…
