Talking Cities

Catalogue with the exhibition of the same title at Zeche Zollverein, Essen from August 26 till December 3, 2006. Featuring innovative international design, architecture and spatial interventions in a trans-disciplinary platform, the magazine; 'Talking Cities' stretches the boundaries of architecture and urban design and shifts our perceptions of contemporary city spaces. It is a dense collage of statements and designs that exemplify the dialogue on reconfiguring and reactivating the marginal, residual and public spaces of our cities. Talking Cities investigates the fragmented conditions that make up our present day urban realities.
