Three people I think should be involved in this -
Mary Mattingly <[email protected]> (who works with nomadic
architecture and revitalizing cities)
Mark Skwarek - [email protected] - works with Occupy and augmented
reality
and
Mark Shepard <[email protected]> - who heads the Urban Research Group at
Eyebeam and has published an anthology with MIT on the Sentient City.
I think these people are really concerned with the issues - Shepard and
Mattingly can recommend others as well - much more, and more directly,
than I am.
Please write them, mention my name at least with Shepard and Mary; I think
they'd be fantastic.
Thanks, Alan

It would be an honor for me having you as a guest!
This is the presentation of the topic, please feel free to pass around it!
"Urban resilience" , to try to understand the new ways and methods of
activism and resilience performed in the urban environment. We live in a
world where the populations tend to desert the rural areas and gather in
megacities. The urban tissue is made of gests, rituals, memes going viral
and reproducing itselves.
We are going to gather in this discussion Spanish architects and urbanists
working in Fukushima and mapping the resistance against the nuclear,
Uruguayan writers and philosophers working at museums and universities,
thinking about time and space in a time of change of paradigms.
Where is the axis where urbanists, architects, activists, writers and
philosophers converge and interact? Since Guy Debord wrote about the city
and the situationists saw in the city the canvas of actions and art have we
been fascinated with the movements and actions generated by the city in
itself.

Eyebeam would be
interested in it; they deal with these issues - if you have a
brief
description, I'd like to pass it along,
Thanks, Alan
