This book critically examines the philosophy of the term
'transgression' and how it shapes the utopian vision of
contemporary urban design scenarios. The aim of this book is to
provide scholarly yet accessible graphic novel illustrations to
inform narratives of urban manifestos. Through four select case
studies from the UK, Cyprus and Germany, the book highlights the
paradoxes and contradictions in architecture and provides detailed
evaluation of the limits and contemporary forms of sustainable
urban regeneration. The book proposes an 'utopian urban vision'
approach to social, political and cultural relations, trends and
tensions both locally and globally, and seeks to inspire an
awakening in architectural discourse. The book argues that the
philosophical undermining of transgression is the result of a
phenomenon from a different perspective - its philosophical
background, its social construction, its experimental research
process and its design implications on the city. As such, the book
provides a critical examination of how architectural design
interventions contribute to sustainable urban regeneration,
gentrification and can impact local communities. This book provides
a significant contribution to both undergraduate and postgraduate
students, as well as early career researchers working in
architecture, planning and sustainable urban design. It offers
effective guidance on adopting the state-of-the-art graphical
illustrations into their own design projects, while considering
contradictions between architectural discourse and the philosophy
of transgression.
