Edited by Peter Mörtenböeck, Helge Mooshammer, Teddy Cruz, Fonna Forman.
Bringing together imaginative architectural approaches with texts by key contemporary thinkers, the two-part Informal Market Worlds explores new ways to interrupt the dominant logics of neoliberal governance. The Reader includes expert essays on urban informality, bottom-up economies and informal architectures as harbingers of social and political change.
