Urban

AA & U operates across architecture, urbanism and support structures for the urban commons. It is a socially engaged spatial practice. Both the entanglement of scales and the heterogeneity of modalities yield a hybrid character to the practice. We organise the website in such a way as to demonstrate how each AA&U project provides examples of entanglements and complementarities of modalities. We aim to demonstrate our transversal approach through multiple web entries to the same project depending on the reader's priorities. Therefore, there are four entries: Urban, Architecture, Support Structures and Project Entry. The first three entries are supported by published articles. They either refer explicitly to the AA & U projects or have broader subjects, written by Socrates Stratis and other AA & U collaborators.

Urban

Introducing larger entities such as networks, natural landscapes or urban formations into the limited project territory. Engaging the actors, both humans and non-humans connected to such larger entities into the project by introducing new relations of physical, temporal and actorial dimensions.
