In April 2023, the exhibition ‘Architecture and the Art of Agitation’ opened in the exhibition-space of Copenhagen Architecture Festival. Over a period of two months, a diverse group of experts, professionals, and architecture enthusiasts gathered for a sequence of reading club events, offering moments for rereading and reevaluating some of the most influential architectural manifestos of the 21st century. This podcast represents one of two recordings documenting these events.
In this podcast, we are exploring two key texts related to the movement: 'Another City for Another Life' (1958) by Constant and 'Formulary for a New Urbanism' (1953) by Ivan Chtcheglov. Your guide through the texts is David Pinder, a professor in Urban Geography at RUC and author of the book 'Visions of the City: Utopianism, Power, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Urbanism' (2005).
