I am an urbanist who writes about cities, landscapes and nature. I have three main themes I am currently working on: urban metabolism. How cities function and the ecological dynamics of urban space); cyborg urbanization. How our bodies are connected to urban space); and cinematic landscapes. How cities and landscapes are represented in moving images). Here are some examples of my work including articles and other writings. Here is my blog Cosmopolis. These are some other sites that I like.

SYNCHRONICITY: ABOUT
http://synccity.blogspot.com/p/about.html

SYNCHRONICITY is an extended platform to share approaches in urbanism, landscape and architecture filed under the main themes of URBANITIES. I am an urbanist and architect from Vienna, who has recently arrived in Berlin after spending a year in London. Market...

Mapping Vacancy To Initiate Temporary Uses. Is a website that maps vacant buildings in German cities.

HOTEL OF DOOM WAKES FROM COMA. The 105-storey Ryugyong Hotel in North Corea's capital Pyongyang. North Korea is refurbishing the "the worst building in the history of mankind" after a 16 year break.

Watch this great movie referring to the hotel of doom. The utopian vision of north korea's future once it's open to the global market. The 105-storey Ry...

SYNCHRONICITY: Marseille – An Integrative Model for Inner-City Social Housing?
http://synccity.blogspot.com/2012/03/marseille-integrative-model-for-inner.html
Marseille – An Integrative Model for Inner-City Social Housing? Unlike other French cities, Marseille’s socio-spatial structure is distinctively different from a prevailing concentric centre-banlieue urban landscape with outwardly growing poverty, crime, and social segregation. Might this specific socio-spatial distribution be a model to diminish social tensions? In the hometown of Corbusier’s famous first machine for living. View on Old Harbour (left) and the Belsunce district. Image by SYNCHRONICITY.

SYNCHRONICITY: Two Tales of Mass Housing in Marseille - La Tourette and La Rouvière
http://synccity.blogspot.com/2012/03/two-tales-of-mass-housing-in-marseille.html
Two Tales of Mass Housing in Marseille - La Tourette and La Rouvière. In the previous post I have already pointed out that Marseille is somewhat different from other French cities when it comes to mass (social) housing. Through their spread of grands ensembles. All over the city, ghettoization of the poor is limited which furthermore might be part of the reason why Marseille was not so much affected by uprisings and riots in recent years despite the cities diverse population structure. Meanwhile the ense...

Saskia Sassen’s talk on Talking back to your Intelligent City. At the BMWLab last summer was recently put online and has been inspiring this post. Fassadenrepublik' by raumlabor berlin.
