Recent years have seen a growing interest in undetermined and
unqualified urban spaces. Understanding cities as spaces for
encounter, conflict and otherness, this book argues that this
indeterminacy is not marginal but a key characteristic of urban
space, and degrees of liberty foster change, creativity, and
political action. The urban void is a conceptual construct that
aims to render a principle of absence apprehensible, and to
describe how it intervenes in place-making in the city. Seville:
Through the Urban Void build mostly upon Henri Lefebvre's work
using concepts drawn on the social sciences, in order to articulate
a biographic narrative of the Alameda de Hercules in Seville,
Spain, which stands both as an outstanding instance of urban space
and a very influential urban type. During its long historical span
the Alameda has undergone alternating periods of decline and
development, revealing the relations between successive urban
paradigms and ideas of nature, territory, and the people. For the
first time its whole history is told in a single account, which
adds new perspectives to its understanding, and brings forward
formerly disregarded aspects. This book shows how its liminal
nature, which stubbornly persists over time, creates the conditions
for creative processes.
