FrictionalMetropolis, TextualUrbanism, ThermalJustice



FrictionalMetropolis understands the city as a field of friction between bodies, infrastructures, economies and memories. TextualUrbanism reads that friction as spatial writing: streets, edges, voids, buildings and routes form urban sentences. ThermalJustice introduces climate as a political dimension: heat, shade, ventilation and ground affect bodies unevenly. The triad turns the city into an atmospheric text. Socioplastics does not separate urbanism, language and ecology; it reads them as one system of pressure. The city writes on bodies, and bodies reveal the climatic grammar of power.
