How can we tell the stories of distant things that influence each other? This seminar discusses and creates (hi)stories in architecture and urbanism that take into account the cross-site and interdependent relations of dominant and dependent duos. It looks at and creates new representations of north-south and south-south productions of space.

This seminar explores resistance to the post-1945 (1957-1980) globalisation of architectural techniques, which can be found in media used to communicate alternatives. Inspired by practices documented in the dispersed grey literature from the “global South” from 1957-1980, we will experiment with the alternative, independent productions of our own manuals about autonomous ways of building.
