The European tradition of urbanism has two main lines. The more
influential of these clearly addresses the "place" as the limit of
architectural and urban design. We cannot conceive of life without
profound roots in places. The other traditional line in urbanism
gravitates around the "body". Although not as influential, it
suggests a different approach to modern urbanism. The perspective
developed here questions what happens in-between the "body" and
"space". To do this, the "body" is understood as a transit channel
between space and the urban project. The book unfolds a critical
reading of contemporary architectural design and urbanism and
criticises the way design refers to "space" using the "body". In
doing so, it delves into the debates of architecture and urban
planning of the eighties, as well as their ambiguous relationship
with politics.
