DSD Urban Asymmetries

Through the history, architecture, urbanism and production of space in general have always been a reflection of the political economic and socio-cultural processes of the society where they occurred. Therefore architects and planners have been consciously or unconsciously related with dominant modes of production and political powers, by executing spatial programs of their clients. Architecture has rarely taken political initiative itself, except of some points in the history, (beginning of the 20th century) when avant-garde political projects and progressive art and architecture movements worked in a close collaboration to imagine different worlds. Today, in the post political condition, the urgent necessity emerges of rethinking the way space is produced and the role of urbanists, planners and architects in the society.
