These are cities that are built by capital for capital, whose ethos is based on economic power and fiscal strength. It is a phenomenon emblematic of capitalism; born in the United States and now converging east. The economist John O’Sullivan describes this shift from East to West as the great convergence. It is first and foremost a convergence of capital, which seems to bypass the geo-political distinctions and rules we became accustomed to in the 20th century. The ambition of the Visiting School is to address this flow of capital through its architectural manifestation and impact on the city of Songdo, in South Korea, which is currently undergoing the stress of financial growth. The classic corporate models of cities like Chicago and New York, and their evolution in the vast territories in the Sun Belt and in the West Coast, will serve as precedents to understand the operative power of the corporate image as a total fictive world (self sufficient and autonomous) through its different elements from the typical plan, to the curtain wall, to the plaza, the atria, the parking lot and so on.The Visiting School is proposed across a span of three years, where the impact of corporate architecture will be analyzed challenged and re-proposed at three scales: the city and its informal planning, the building and the street, and finally at the human scale of the employee.Click below to Apply:Click here to Apply
