The Manifesto Reading Club: Constant and Ivan Chtcheglov
Description
In this podcast, we are exploring two key texts related to the movement: ‘Another City for Another Life’ (1958) by Constant and ‘Formulary for a New Urbanism’ (1953) by Ivan Chtcheglov. Your guide through the texts is David Pinder, a professor in Urban Geography at RUC and author of the book "Visions of the City: Utopianism, Power, and Politics in Twentieth-Century Urbanism" (2005).
The podcast is a part of the documentation of a longer series of reading club events linked to our past exhibition, ‘Architecture and the Art of Agitation,’ which marked the culmination of a year-long exploration of the significance of manifestos, including two exhibitions, as well as an analogue and a digital publication.Follow the link below and listen to the conversation on your favourite platform.
