49 Methods and Assignments for Writing Urban Places
Edited with text by Klaske Havik, Dalia Milian Bernal, Carlos Machado e Moura, Esteban Restrepo Restrepo, Lorin Niculae.
Prompts for creative and embodied engagement with the urban environment
Conceived as a sequel to Vademecum: 77 Minor Terms for Writing Urban Places, this volume offers a set of methods and assignments intended to stimulate creative, often embodied, approaches to architecture, urban studies and other fields of spatial development. The 49 methods—defined here as systematic procedures, techniques and ways of acting—were selected by an interdisciplinary group of international scholars connected through the EU COST Action network. Each of the methods is paired with a brief text and followed by a short assignment. Presented as a clear set of instructions, the assignment encourages the reader to fully or partially explore the method. As such, Repository is intended to serve as a useful tool to inspire, accompany and assist spatial professionals, researchers, students and communities alike to creatively and responsibly engage with current challenges of urban living.
