TransUrbanism describes how our cities enter the new 'atmospheric phase.' The city and her boarders blur. It is no longer a material object of which one can easily say where it precisely starts or ends. The city's substance is hardly material/architectural anymore. Public squares, market places, the layout of streets seem no longer relevant to how the city is experienced. TransUrbanism aims at a conscious practice: how can writers, artists and urban developers define new methods for inventing our future cities?
TransUrbanism contains interviews, essays and art projects with: Arjun Appadurai, Rem Koolhaas, Knowbotic Research, Scott Lash, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Brett Steele, Edward Soja, Lars Spuybroek, Roemer van Toorn and Mark Wigley.
