TYPOLOGICAL URBANISM: PROJECTIVE CITIES
GUEST-EDITED BY CHRISTOPHER CM LEE AND SAM JACOBY
How can architecture today be simultaneously relevant to its urban context and at the very
forefront of design? For a decade or so, iconic architecture has been fuelled by the market
economy and consumers’ insatiable appetite for the novel and the different. The relentless speed
and scale of urbanisation, with its ruptured, decentralised and fast-changing context, though,
demands a rethink of the role of the designer and the function of architecture. This title of
2 confronts and questions the profession’s and academia’s current inability to confi dently
prehensively describe, conceptualise, theorise and ultimately project new ideas for
architecture in relation to the city. In so doing, it provides a potent alternative for projective
cities: Typological Urbanism. This pursues and develops the strategies of typological reasoning
in order to re-engage architecture with the city in both a critical and speculative manner.
Architecture and urbanism are no longer seen as separate domains, or subservient to each other,
but as synthesising disciplines and processes that allow an integrating and controlling effect on
both the city and its built environment.
