Abstract

The texts that make up this issue of ZARCH are situated in the field of critical speculation, but they are also inscribed in a more practical sphere and study examples that visualise in a concrete way the transfers between temporality and permanence of contemporary urban conditions. They do so from points of view linked to architecture or urban planning, and also from the visual arts. The whole builds up a broad and multifaceted panorama.
