EDUARDO RICO FEATURES ARTICLE IN INFRASTRUCTURAL URBANISM

DOM Publishers, Berlin, has just released the book “Infrastructural Urbanism. Addressing the In – Between”. This includes the article “The role of Infrastructural landscape in the image of the city” by Relational Urbanism Academic Director Master Eduardo Rico. This paper describes how urban infrastructures bear the potential to redefine the role of public open space due to their networked condition and the qualities of their interstitial landscape. It then moves to describe how his research in the Ma Landscape Urbanism in the AA taps into this potential, by expanding the functional dimension of infrastructure encompassing other social and architectural aspects across multiple scales.
