What About Conditioning the Urban Genealogy?

WAI has been featured in Conditions

WAI’s graphic genealogy Cities of the Avant-Garde has been featured in the 8^th issue of Conditions Magazine. The graphic timeline is the first part of an ongoing research project on the evolution of the ideal cities of the avant-garde. The chronology includes projects and visions of the urban intelligentsia since the 1900’s and speculates on the future of the shapes of urbanism in the next hundred years.

With a whole new layout, the graphic concept of Conditions has been tweaked by Norwegian design studio Skin Design. The latest issue of the Scandinavian magazine includes interviews of Danish journalist, tv producer, art administrator and director of Den Danske Filmskole Paul Nesgaard, Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design’s president Ilya Oskolkov Tsentsiper, Mateo Arquitectura’s principal Josep Lluís Mateo, Harvard GSD dean and professor Mohsen Mostafavi, and Norwegian provocateurs Fantastic Norway.

Cities of the avant-garde and other pieces of WAI will be soon exhibited in WAI’s first solo exhibition “What About It?” in Beijing’s Art Capital 798 Art Zone in September. For more information stay tuned to WAI.
