el croquis #208

This edition begins with a conversation with Pier Vittorio Aureli and Martino Tattara, the founders of Dogma, an architectural firm concerned with the relationship between architecture and the city. moreBy focusing mostly on urban design and large-scale projects, they consult with municipalities and agencies for urban planning and architectural issues. Atypically, El Croquis is this time only featuring plans not yet constructed, including a model for a city of 4,000,000 Inhabitants, a proposal for 44 social housing units, and a prototype for boarding houses in London. Timely articles about urban transformation follow, including an interesting genealogy of housing for the laboring classes.
