URBAN BORDERS
“Holistic clouds will not only end the alienating division between life-leisure-work but will transform all peripheries into centers.“
Central peripheries and peripheral centralities are existing conditions within contemporary understandings of the city. New systems of mobility, communication and capital management have produced a multiplicity of states of centrality and isolation in social and spatial terms beyond nineteenth century ideas of center and periphery or production-work-leisure-living. Urban Borders asks for submissions that are able to bring together different notions of centrality and periphery into play and problematize existing living conditions within urban scenarios.
The rest of the contests can still be there. Watch the calendar.
