Recorded: February 22, 2013
In the keynote presentation for The City That Never Was — a February 2013 symposium that took the current economic crisis in Spain as a point of departure for rethinking global patterns of urbanization and settlement — Llàtzer Moix describes some of Spain’s over-built, under-utilized cities as “monster[s] with two faces;” not only the ugly result of bad planning, construction, and neglect, but often hidden behind the “beautiful face” of a star architect’s design. In tracing the economic and political roots of Spain’s crisis, Moix reveals the design profession’s complicity in the formation of failed urbanism.
