The Horizontal Metropolis

Abstract

In continuity with the author’s longstanding research on forms of open, continuous and temporary space launched in the late sixties together with the Archizoom Associati (1969–72) and in accordance with his custom of using the urban project as social and cultural critique, Agronica is one of the author’s best-known theoretical projects.
