Nonlinear Urbanism - (Edition Angewandte) (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The urban spaces of the future

This book compiles speculative contributions on
disruptive, nonlinear futures of urban agglomerations, based on research
conducted on urban innovation at the Department of Special Topics in
Architecture at the Institute of Architecture of the University of
Applied Arts Vienna. Students, alongside renowned experts, also comment
on questions concerning our urban future.

The novel reading
structure, which is realized and suggested by the concept of the book,
is also nonlinear: thematic, graphic cross-references enable contextual
reading in addition to continuous reading. The enhancement of the
printed book with digital augmented reality (AR) components offers
networked, simultaneous reading on several levels and thus reflects the
complexity of urban systems.

• New approaches in urbanism
• A spectrum of speculative glimpses into the urban future
• Contextual reading structure: enrichment of the printed book with AR components
