Richard’s presentation at the NZIA Creative Urban Design Series is based upon insights from Manuel de Solà-Morales and Joseph Rykwert

Manuel believed that cities and urban projects can achieve a higher level of creation through understanding the city as a cultural artefact. Joseph encourages NGO’s to propose alternatives to problematic urban plans if they are incompatible with or un-representative of the city “not merely to block the worst excesses of the city spoilers, but make that crucial passage from protest to project.” 

Richard will explain how the practice adopts Joseph’s strategy in order to affirm the substance of Manuel’s urban vision. Richard’s presentation is entitled “From Protest to Project – Building the City into the Outcome.”
