UD – Rethinking urban design genealogies
Ciclo di seminari

“UD – Rethinking Urban Design Genealogies” is an international seminar organized at DAStU – Politecnico di Milano by Gaia Caramellino and Leonardo Zuccaro Marchi, aimed at presenting and comparing three Urban Design History and Theory books, written by David Grahame Shane (GSAPP Columbia, New York), Tom Avermaete (ETH, Zurich), Eric Mumford (Washington University in St. Louis). We will discuss with the authors the different UD genealogies proposed, the cultural matrices, the chronologies and geographies of reference, and the other historiographical and interpretative frameworks the three texts offer. The Seminar is supported by DAStU, Politecnico di Milano and organized in collaboration with GUD_Genealogy of Urban Design Network.
