Challenging the Lettered City is an attempt to the codification of a discourse among some Latin America urban design and planning design experimentations of the 2000’s, whose disciplinary ties forged alliances with emergent structures of urban governance and whose professional means and ends implicitly aligned with postcolonial urban narratives. By excavating the asymmetries between the ‘Lettered’ and the ‘Unlettered’ city, it is possible to reveal the central role that architecture takes on as both practice embedded in and discursive cypher for the unfolding of new power structures. Antonio di Campli is a scholar, researcher and writer. His research focuses on post-modern, theory and practice of urban design, modernism in non-Western contexts and contemporary postcolonial urbanism.
