POST-CITY
Rather an attitude towards the city than an urban proposal, Post-City tries to magnify the already existing forces of Luxembourg’s built environment. To tackle the larger scale issues the country is- and will be- facing, as well as its relationships towards the development of the 21st century city in general, we propose to deal with the territory through a sensitive analysis.
Based on an assumed subjective approach, Post-City works as a zoom-out process.
Starting with the exploration of the particular, Post-City proposes to connect five specific environments of contemporary Luxembourg.
Considered by us of the same importance, Belval, Berchem, Ingeldorf, Kirchberg and Schengen are connected by a dense corridor of urban scenes.
Made of an extremely pragmatic infrastructure and an accumulation of existing and fictional built situations, Post-City acts as a visual concentration of urban realities and potentials.
As a natural consequence of the process, a triangle-like urban fabric with a connected heart cuts through Luxembourg, creating, as a leftover, an undefined landscape, a territory of all possibilities.
Post-City: an almost romantic approach with an almost totalitarian consequence.
Or, how the contemplation of a local case led us to a total urban tale.
