Curator Elke Krasny presents historical and contemporary case studies that illustrate bottom-up urban development in Chicago, Leipzig, Vienna, Bremen, New York, Paris, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Porto Alegre, Havanna or Quito. She offers an overview of self-organised, collective, informal movements and of the spaces they create. “Hands-On Urbanism” presents a different history of urbanism that puts pressing questions to architects and planners and enquires about how we use resources. What can be learned from this urban history from below and how do architects operate within these processes? curator: Elke Krasny scenography: Alexandra Maringer exhibition graphics: Alexander Schuh copyright clearing: Andrea Seidling, Az W The exhibition is accompanied by the book „Hands-On Urbanism.
