3 URBAN FIELD RESEARCHES

A triangular display with three walls of research:
A. The Paradigm of Tokyo: Some thirty years Tokyo, by mutating into a new type of city, caught the imagination of the west — fluid and dynamic — the anti-thesis of the fixed geometries of the historic European City.
B. The Paradigm of the Eurolandschaft: Recent spontaneous evolutions have dispersed previously concentrated urban functions across the entire European landscape. A networked field, connected not only by freeways but also by digital communication. BOLLES + WILSON regularly traverse, map and project new typologies into this thin urban soup.
C. Korça Masterplan: The small city of Korça, high in the Albanian mountains has (since winning the 2012 Masterplan ompetition) become a laboratory for BOLLES + WILSON to re-script the city center with localized interventions — urban acupunctures. The fragmentary character of these interventions produces a dispersed field of signification (learning from Tokyo).
