This volume investigates one of the most significant shifts in
contemporary urban research: the shift from an object- to an
action-related perspective on the city. Outlining a critical urban
theory from an improvisational perspective, the book shows why this
transition might change our understanding of the city at large and
make us reconsider the role of architecture and urban design, as
well as their representations. German theorist, composer, and
musician Christopher Dell, widely known for his performances and
teaching in urban design, explores the question of making in a
constellation of matter, things, embodiment, active living, and
discourse. Insightful and engagingly written, this extraordinary
volume offers, for the first time in English, a far-reaching
narrative that examines the improvisation of space and reflects
multifaceted aspects of the city today. The book assembles a unique
collection of images and essays, providing a substantial new
contribution and advancement in the field of urban research.
