metalocus, JOSÉ JUAN BARBA

"Urbanacción" moves its focus of interest to the suburban periphery of Madrid, an unknown territory in that it may appear nothing happens, stage of unprecedented expansion in the city throughout the last years and subsequent victim of the current economic crisis. In this peri-urban zone, removed and in parts still under construction different types of voids have evolved... mental and physical gaps for future interpretation and intervention.

Via the four theoretical-working sessions (directed at architects, urban planners, anthropologists, landscape architects,sociologists, botanists and all classes of urban explorers) four alternate frames of reflection that combined aim to capture a vision of what goes on beyond the limits of the city: sub UR.
