Eight affiliates of the Geddes Institute for Urban Research at the University of Dundee contributed projects to the exhibition. The projects were installed on the gallery walls, with the Geddes archive material in the vitrines in the centre of the space. Moving counter-clockwise beginning in the southwest corner. Paul Guzzardo’s video installation records a civil suit that unpacks the relation between power, intellectual property, and digital practice in the city of St. Louis. Cameron McEwan’s montage drawings look at the city and society as analogues. John Dummett’s montage of text and images looks at the figure of the public in political discourse. Jelena Stankovics plan studies of Banja Luka map the personal and collective memories embedded in the city fabric. The art practice of Tracy MacKenna and Edwin Janssen produced lapel buttons to orient public activists within the city. Deborah Peel with the TayPlan Strategic Planning Authority and the Dundee City Council Planning Department documented the history of Tay Valley regional planning from Geddes’ time to the present waterfront plan. Fergus Purdie Architects produced a citizens’ civic survey of Perth, comprising 9 A0 screen prints.

Graeme Hutton and Charles Rattray produced plan studies for the commercial and residential development of the Dundee waterfront. Using different means and media, these projects treat the city as a social form and use it to think through questions of inhabitation and social life. Reproduced in front of each contribution is the A3 exhibition panel that introduced each project.

Continuity and Invention Charles Rattray and Graeme Hutton These panels summarise a three-year study of Dundee’s Central Waterfront, an area that has undergone dramatic change: reclaimed dockland that had an infrastructure of carriageways, roundabouts and overhead walkways, has been re-ordered by the City on a grid of development blocks that frame Kengo Kuma Architects’ new V&A Dundee.

The project worked within the City Council’s block plan while introducing new features including an additional street, within the blocks, which relates to the grain of the existing city. It examines how Dundee’s existing urban fabric can be interpreted and extended to create places, streets and buildings which, while modern, show continuity with the past.

The project develops a dynamic between important buildings and the ordinary matrix of the city which informs the proposed urban scale and hierarchy of streets.

This research produced a master plan for the Central Waterfront that maximises its continuity with the city centre. It reminds us that architecture and architectural judgment are capable of the sort of critical look at the texture and planning of a city that Geddes regarded as necessary for informed place-making. It confirms the importance that Geddes placed upon the Civic Survey in the planning process.

This research was conducted by the Architecture + The City Design Research Masters Unit at the University of Dundee led by Charles Rattray and Graeme Hutton. Rattray, FRSA, is an architect. He was in practice for twenty years, is a former Editor of Architectural Research Quarterly and teaches at Dundee. Hutton, RIBA FRIAS, is an architect and Professor of Architecture at Dundee who practices with LJR+H and has taught with Rattray for twenty years.

The Artefact and the Analogue Cameron McEwan ‘The collective and the private, society and the individual, balance and confront one another in the city.’

Aldo Rossi, The Architecture of the City (1966) Aldo Rossi argued that the city was a formal and political confrontation that crystallised urban dynamics – land ownership, expropriation, relations of production – in architectural form. Rossi’s theory of the city can be divided between what he called the ‘city as an artefact’ and the ‘analogical city’. The former was put forward in The Architecture of the City (1966). The latter was never fully theorised and instead put across through essays, notebook reflections and drawings.

The montage panels interrogate Rossi’s theory of the city and are simultaneously analytical and projective. They analyse Rossi’s ‘city as an artefact’ and ‘analogical city’ by means of images from Rossi’s books, re-drawing his drawings and extrapolating the categories used by him. The drawings reformulate Rossi’s theory, finding new relations between categories and images, projecting an alternative reading. The panels are ‘thinking machines’, by which the author thinks through Rossi’s theory of the city with a view to speculating about its productive potential for today.

Cameron McEwan studied architecture at Dundee School of Architecture followed by a PhD on Aldo Rossi and the Analogical City. Cameron lectures in architecture and urbanism in Edinburgh and Dundee. At Dundee he co-teaches a Masters Unit conducting research on cities. Cameron is an Associate of the AE Foundation.

“...‘logical’ thinking is thinking in words, which like discourse is directed outwards. ‘Analogical’ or fantasy thinking is emotionally toned, pictorial and wordless, not discourse but an inner-directed rumination on materials belonging to the past.

Logical thinking is ‘verbal thinking.’ Analogical thinking is archaic, unconscious, not put into words and hardly formulable in words.”

THE ANALOGICAL CITY: PIRANESI’S FORMAL FURORE AND ROSSI’S SOCIAL INDIVIDUAL The formal and spatial furore of Piranesi’s Campo Marzio is an important point of reference in Rossi’s analogical city. Rossi includes fragments of works by Piranesi in his collage project “The Analogical City: Panel.”

Both projects share a similar visual aesthetic – a collage of architectural figures and fragments arranged tightly together within the stability of

a square frame, counterposed by the instability of the collage composition inside the frame.

Yet both compositions are not disordered. In Rossi’s there is a clear vertical axis, a carefully judged relationship between large and small figures, edge and a central focus, similar to the relation of major and minor forms in Piranesi’s Campo Marzio.

One point of reference for Rossi’s analogical city was a painting by Canaletto looking toward a version of Palladio’s unbuilt Rialto Bridge project, either side of which are Palladio’s Vicenza Basilica and Palazzo Chierecati.

There is a formal and political claim to Canaletto’s painting. On one hand Canaletto’s

THE ANALOGICAL CITY: DE-MONTAGE OF TYPICAL GEOMETRIC AND ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS

THE CITY AS AN ARTEFACT: THE CITY IS ARCHITECTURE’S OTHER In The Architecture of the City Rossi puts across a dual spatial-formal and social-political reading of architecture and the city.

On one hand Rossi reads the city as a city of parts based on a spatial-formal dialectic between residential quarters and the singular monument and typical institutions; differentiating between dominant surface

area of the city versus singular points of concentration.

On the other hand Rossi argued that the form of the city – the architecture of the city – reveals civilisations deepest social, cultural and political relationships. He said: “... architecture implies the city” and that “the city is a great comprehensive representation

Rossi once said that the lucidity of drawing is the lucidity of thought. Hence, thought is given exterior character by means of the drawing. In 1979 Rossi exhibited 30 drawings at IUAS in New York collectively titled “Analogical City.”

The panel above includes a selection of the authors studies of Rossi’s drawings. It de-montages them to inquire into the formal

of the human condition.” So architecture is intrinsically collective – architecture conjoins city. Both architecture and the city come to embody the human condition as a confrontation of social relations and relations of production, class struggle, expropriation and speculation – the crystallisation of urban dynamics.

vocabulary of the analogical city. We see the following: truncated cones, hollow cubes, tapered or stepped pyramids, over-scaled columns, industrial silos and chimneys, stairs and porticoes, urban scaled domestic objects such as chairs, coffee pots, cups, newspapers, match boxes and cigarette packets as well as bodies, skeletons and shadowy figures.

Through repetition, combination and recombination of typical geometric and architectural elements, their estrangement from one project to another, the altering of scale, and the distortion of form, Rossi attempts to reconcile the desire for singular authorship with the commonality of the city and the collective knowledge of architecture as a discipline.

Perth City Study Fergus Purdie Architect, RSA ‘Town-planning is not mere place-planning, nor even workplanning. If it is to be successful it must be folk-planning.’

Patrick Geddes In 2008 the practice was commissioned by Perth and Kinross Council to participate in a cultural planning study of Perth city centre. Fundamental to our thinking were the ideas and values of Patrick Geddes within the context of current urban design practice. Our chosen methodology required a more generalist approach through observing, recording and reflective practice. To support this line of enquiry we situated a temporary studio space in a local land mark building - the Fair Maid’s House and operated an open door policy allowing public interest and curiosity to prevail. Thereby an open dialogue with our practice and city study was established. This spirit of co-operation culminated in the decision to present our findings in an exhibition at the Fair Maid’s House using screen prints supported by models and slide show. The outcome, a more engaging, informative and educational approach that would have no doubt received Geddes’s approval.

The Perth City Study panels exhibited here are facsimiles of original AO screen prints, held in the Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture (Diploma Collection) © Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture.

Before establishing an independent practice Fergus Purdie completed a broad range of educational and professional experiences that has informed his practice and teaching including graduate studies at the University of Dundee, postgraduate research and internship at the architecture studio of Herman Hertzberger, Amsterdam.

Practice work focuses on houses, arts projects, housing and community focused initiatives to urban studies.

It has been acknowledged in publications, exhibitions and awards. Teaching interests include studio tutor and invited lecturer. www.fwp-architect.com

The notation of life diagram reproduced from Patrick Geddes, Cities in Evolution (London: Williams and Norgate Ltd., 1947)

The Collective Memory of Banja Luka Jelena Stankovic Banja Luka reflects on its past so that it can plan for its future. This project records the Banja Luka that only exists in plans, photographs, municipal records, the memories of its inhabitants. It is a part of a research project on collective memory and the city, which indexed the plans of Banja Luka in archives around the world, and developed a discourse on cities and memory, drawing on architectural, sociological, and psychological literature. In the Notation of Life diagram, Geddes argued that the development of the consciousness of a society mirrors the development of its built environment. The inner terms Town, School, University, City comprises the stages by which town evolves into city; the outer terms Acts, Facts, Dreams, Deeds comprise the corresponding cycle by which consciousness evolves from a consuming preoccupation with subsistence labour to reflection, to future planning, to its institution in the city, which for Geddes was the most advanced artifact of civilization. This plan of Banja Luka, which deals with reflection and planning, resides in the two bottom quadrants of Geddes diagram.

Jelena Stankovic studied architecture at the University of Banja Luka and is currently a doctoral student in Architecture at the University of Dundee, where she is completing her PhD thesis on the role of the city in the memory of its inhabitants.

1. The Residential and Commercial Building - Titanic

‘It is said that all Students who once attended the Grammar School at the moment of its destruction stopped their lectures wherever they were.

They said goodbye to their School and saw it off to eternity. Many citizens cried and watched its demolition in silence. Memories are painfull and pressing dilemma even today. Why is it so?‘

‘The disastrous earthquake on October 27th 1969 terminally wounded the Grammar School building and its inventory, archive, library and a big number of classrooms. Experts’ estimation was that the building had been damaged beyond repair and that it had to be pulled down, and the final verdict, despite the tears of the town’s inhabitants, was realized on January 31st 1970‘.

The Students

The Grammar School opened its doors to the Students in 1898.

Floor plan was in the form of a Latin letter I. In 1903 the west wing was added to the School by giving it the shape of a Latin letter F. In 1931 the building got its final shape - a Latin letter E after its eastern wing had been erected.

2. The Grammar School - Realka

Historical documents show that the year of its building is 1953/54, while 1970 signifies the year when the building was completely destroyed - flattened after its construction system was seriously damaged during the devastating earthquake in Banja Luka in 1969. Due to recessed balconies, the Residents called it the Titanic, not knowing that it will have the same destiny as the ship carrying the same name.

Sixteen years of the existence of the Titanic in one country with two names is a testimony of the pace of changes that occurred in this territory.

The location of the Residential and Commercial House underwent radical changes to the extent that if you did not know that it was there, you would not recognize it from the present-day picture of this place. It exists only in the memories of the citizens of Banja Luka.

The Kaiser was the leader of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

In 1932, the park got a new tenant - a tribute to Petar Kočić.

This monument was located on the same axis as the fountain and the Music Pavilion. During the Second World War, the Music Pavilion and the monument were brought down.

However, it was found that the monument was only slighltly damaged so in the middle of 1945 it was returned to the City Park.

‘After WWII, the park was renovated, the fence removed and a round fountain built, which was one of the most frequent motifs for decades. In 2006, City Park got the new, modern attire with water areas and the Music Pavilion‘.

‘The first and most significat Ban of Vrbaska Banovina was Svetislav Tisa Milosavljević [Niš,1882-Belgrade, 1960]. In four and a half years of his government [9 th Ocotber 1929 18th April 1934] the whole Banovina experienced the economic, educational, cultural, communication and overall growth. The Town itself enriched with many valuable structures [Banovina Government, Ban’s Court, House of King Peter I the Liberator, Sokolski Dom, the Hotel Palas, The Town Park with the Monument in tribute to Petar Kočić, Hygienic Institute] and the institutions [Theater, Museums, many schools, Merchant and Industry Chamber, Central Banovina Association for Tourism] first asphalted streets,etc. In this way Ban Milosavljević gave the town new physiognomy and soul, which gained him a flattering name Banja Luka’s Pericles‘.

The Travellers The Artists and Visitors

The users of the building are always in expectation and uncertainty.

While waiting for the trains, buses or exhibitions, they imagine and think of events and impression which they will experience. Their senses are always active. This gives the building a specific character as numerous experiences of travellers and visitors are built in its walls.

It is the same building but its functions were different. All functions had the character of expectation and hope. Train or bus departures and arrivals, and exhibitions made the building crowded and alive.

‘Along with the construction of the 2.8 km railway section from the Railway Station - Predgrađe [located at the outskirt of Banja Luka] to the centre, in 1891 the building of the Main Railway Station was erected ‘.

Drawing by John Dummett

score for a prepared voice John Dummett A contemporary city is never fully present, it is always either ahead of itself or looking back upon its origins. To experience a city in this conflicted temporality is to undertake an act of paraphrasis, an act of restating scored by possible futures and probable pasts in which the present is always elusive. But it is only in this ephemeral present moment that perception and the city meet, and the city becomes other than a speculative and abstract proposition.

Appropriating Patrick Geddes’ Civics as Applied Sociology as a starting point, score for a prepared voice will observe and register the complex temporalities at play in a contemporary city. Conducted over 2 months along a pedestrian route in Dundee, score for a prepared voice will use different practices of writing, photography and drawing to enter the ephemeral present of a city.

Rolling documentation of score for a prepared voice will be published at https://twitter. com/dummyPublic

John Dummett is an artist working at the margins of sculpture, text and architecture. Utilising practices and discourses imbued with aesthetic, critical and spatial registers, Dummett draws upon a wide range of material including Political texts from the 17th and 18th centuries, Modernist architecture from the late 20th century and current Public Art, to critically engage with contemporary representations of ‘the public’. Dummett is undertaking an AHRC funded Fine Art PhD at the University of Dundee and is a Henry Moore Institute Research Fellow.

A Septic Turn Paul Guzzardo A Septic Turn offers a contemporary update on Geddes’ citizen survey and Civic Exhibition.

The installation details an ongoing lawsuit between the plaintiff Paul Guzzardo and two defendants: Grand Center - a private corporation with statutory development powers in St. Louis, and Washington University - a bio-science research institution. Unlike Charles Dickens’s Bleak House the transactional is secondary here. This is about the role of digital media in collective consciousness and how media shapes the relation of people to places.

It’s also about Marshall McLuhan’s role in the intellectual formation of St. Louis, and how Geddes’ synoptic vision got muscled out by a sycophantic one.

Project journals and looping multimedia tell the story. The journals contains press, legal pleadings and testimony. Guzzardo’s documentaries and video depositions comprise the multimedia. The documentaries are buildbetterbarrel, the cartographer’s dilemma, and posses | protocol | perp walks. The deposition witnesses are: Emily Pulitzer, collector and founder of the Pulitzer Foundation of the Arts; Heather Woofter, teacher and chair of graduate studies at the Washington University School of Architecture; and Paul Guzzardo, lawyer and media activist/artist.

Paul Guzzardo is a Fellow at the Geddes Institute for Urban Research. Further biography can be found in the project journals and multimedia.

a descent into It is high time to be staging the civic drama, renewing its long-forgotten ideals. For as we escape from the myths of a homeless individualism we see that the city in one age with acropolis and forum, in another with town house and cathedral has ever been the theatre and stage indispensable for expressing, with any real fullness and adequacy, each individual life. patrick geddes: cities in evolution In the course of elaborating his fundamental graph, Geddes had in fact exposed the archetypal drama of life: and what was even more important had restored the missing factors of time and change. In the scenario for this drama the actors, the plot and the scenery, the dialogue, the performance, the setting actively bring into existence an interwoven sequence of events whose meaning and purpose no single part, however clearly presented, can possibly convey. lewis mumford: on his mentor patrick geddes Amphitheaters, open-air stages, and performance spaces in theaters and public halls are standard features in Geddes’s city design reports. He suggests an amphitheater as early as 1904 in his report for Dunfermline and proposes one again in his last city design report from 1925 for Tel Aviv. volker m. welter: biopolis The space of appearance comes into being wherever men are together in the manner of speech and action. hannah arendt: the human condition Patrick Geddes was a message Huxley and Darwin sent to the future. He died in 1932; the same year Aldous Huxley published “Brave New World” - another dispatch. Geddes left us a tool chest packed with maps. They’re maps to build platforms that glimpse, peer ahead, assess what is coming, and maybe humanize this new place. holm-guzzardo: the cartographer’s dilemma

City-Regional Planning in Scotland TAYplan and Town & Regional Planning, University of Dundee Geddes’ seminal ideas relating to the city-region have been highly influential in Scottish planning. This legacy is embodied, for example, in the name of the University of Dundee’s planning school – Town & Regional Planning. Land use planning – or spatial planning – in Scotland has led the way in terms of strategic planning. National Planning Guidelines were a Scottish innovation in 1974. Interestingly, these were a response to North Sea Oil and Gas and the need for strategic coastal planning. Scotland has also introduced a National Planning Framework.

This project highlights two milestones in strategic or city-regional planning which reflect Geddes’ approach of ‘survey, analysis, plan’. The Tay Valley Regional Advisory Plan (1950) presents a comprehensive physical, social and economic survey for the management of change. In contrast to this relatively formal approach, we present the current work of TAYplan which uses innovative ways to engage people in strategic plan-making processes.

This presentation is a collaboration between Pam Ewen and the TAYplan team, and staff in Town & Regional Planning at the University of Dundee. One of four strategic development planning authorities in Scotland, TAYplan covers the city-regions of Dundee and Perth and is a statutory partnership of Dundee City, Angus, Perth & Kinross and Fife Councils. TAYplan provides direction for the next 20 years about where and how new development and infrastructure should occur.

A LIFE IN BALANCE! + EVOLVE YOUR PLACE FOLK! Tracy Mackenna & Edwin Janssen Geddes’ ideas regarding environmental wellbeing are reflected in our collaborative art practice that revolves around the question ‘how to live a good life?’. We are interested in activating the city as a stage for presentation and exchange. Looking beyond the confines of the white cube gallery environment, we offer our joint practice as a site for social interaction and animated discussion.

In response to Cities in Evolution, we have made two portable artworks that are not bound by walls, floors and ceilings but that fluidly move from place to place on the lapel or in the pockets of the receiver who transforms into the messenger. The slogans A LIFE IN BALANCE! and EVOLVE YOUR PLACE FOLK! will be gifted to the exhibition visitors in the form of badges created to trigger a response. These badges are additions to our John & Yoko Drawings series.

Tracy Mackenna & Edwin Janssen share a collaborative art practice that is a discursive site for production, collaboration, social engagement and reflection. Exhibition projects, environments, publications and writing integrate art making, presentation, exchange and education. They focus on ‘how to live a good life’, art and wellbeing and the relationship between material culture and memory. They teach at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, University of Dundee. www.mackenna-and-janssen.net
