Wallpaper Visionaries
| Europe. A continent in the middle. Between the new superpower in the east and the old in the west. Between the ideal of Europe and its sceptical citizens. Between its world-dominating history and its uncertain future: How to deal with an aging and shrinking population? How to revitalize its industry? How to redefine itself in a changing political and economical world?
While the European Union wrestles with itself through bureaucratic systems to find answers to these existential questions, a new generation of architects and urban planners show us how it could be done. Wallpaper presents a series of documentaries on European architects who re-think the old continent – visionary thinkers who are unwilling to be cornered by political containment. Unwilling to rest with the structures that pull the continent back, but open to redefining its meaning and position in the world. |
