Description
BorderLine, the first publication in the "RIEAconcepts"-series, highlights a particularly relevant site in Europe: The town and harbor of Kraljevica, just south of Rijeka, Croatia, where failing ship-building industry and pollution from a large oil-refinery threaten both the ecology and the prospects of tourism. Drawing on the results of a workshop, BorderLine presents essays and projects by leading thinkers and architects such as Lebbeus Woods, Gabriela Seifert (Formalhaut Architects), Manuel Delanda (cultural philosopher), Aleksandra Wagner (sociologist, psychoanalyst), Heinz Foerster (biophysicist), Ekkehard Rehfeld (architect). Architectural projects and conceptual proposals by Lebbeus Woods, Peter Cook, Will Alsop, Per Kartredt, Masihiko Yendo, Guy Lafranchi, etc. create within rapidly evolving European and global landscapes.
