Who's Afraid of Ludwig Hilberseimer?
The metropolis as imagined by Ludwig Hilberseimer has long served as the quintessential example of the urban dystopia. In reconsidering Hilberseimer's Groszstadt the vacant, haunted qualities of his city that are so often criticized will instead become a point of departure for exploring the “spectral” potentials of the metropolis. This reading will demonstrate the irrational qualities of this rationalist project, and how it reveals a deeply ambivalent and critical attitude towards utopian urbanism and the role of the city in capitalism.
