A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Architecture and urbanism have become ambivalent. Ron Witte of design‐based think‐tank WW tracks the history of an acrimonious relationship, from Haussmann's grand plan for Paris through to the perceived failure of Modernism and the more recent rise of geometry and programme. Could this divide, though, be bridged, and the two fields reunited with a new geometry in which ‘architecture reaches into the city’ and ‘the city reaches into architecture’?
