PostDomestiCity

Re-thinking urban obsolescence

Diego García-Setién, Enrique Espinosa, Begoña de Abajo, Almudena Ribot / CoLaboratorio

PostDomestiCity is an enquiry and speculative exercise into the conditions of obsolescence int the post-industrial city, from a contemporary perspective. Working with three paradigmatic cases that were conceived from industrial logics – the Packard plant in Detroit, PREVI neighbourhood in Lima, and the Grand’Mare complex in Rouen– the book explores alternative ways of reusing, reprogramming, and redensifying the built environment as alternatives to demolition. Relevant voices in the field of architecture – including Anne Lacaton, Marina Otero, Ippolito Pestellini, Duplex Architects, Lacol, Antonio Vázquez de Castro, Carmen Espegel, Luis Takahashi, OF Architects, DABG, Luis Palacios, Lys Villalba and Ignacio Borrego – share their approaches and visions of the future for the pre-existing city, helping us to imagine post-domesticity in the current climate crisis and sociotechnological context.
