Urbanization is always a process of soil formation. Every material process that shapes the construction of the urban environment passes through the soil at some point. In Thinking Through Soil, we will use ‘soil’ as an interpretive category to guide us through the political consequences, design epistemology, and material contingency of the urban environment.
In particular, this short course will take a close look at 6 different urban sites in the Metropolitan area of Barcelona. Participants in pairs will unfold the hidden stories and reciprocal urban processes that have shaped each site.
The course will provide a methodology of research deeply linked to a representation system that will equip participants with new ways of drawing the invisible ground laying under our cities.
