Description
Positioned in the research field of 'interior urbanism', this thesis considers entrance situations that occur between buildings and cities in order to develop new ways of investigating the relationship between architecture and urban transformation. From the main research question - How does architecture mediate urban transformation? - the thesis focuses on experience-driven narratives about the city. Looking at the means by which architecture situates the subject in an urban experience, the thesis asks how the experience contributes to a particular attention to the city. This approach intends to shed light on architecture's role in both mediating and challenging neoliberal urbanism.. The thesis argues for analyzing large-scale processes of urban transformation by placing a sharpened empirical focus on the built environment. This is tested by a transversal research method that intersects multiple investigative techniques.
