| dc.description.abstract | Island urbanism, resulting in a fragmented patchwork of physically disconnected unfinished parts within the urban area (Novy et. al., 2001, Oswalt, 2006). “Instead of cities being determined by pre - planned structures, they are revealed as amorphous,…indeterminant sites,…they are temporary, emergent and transitory,...an endless world made up of tightly interconnected but heterogeneous spaces.” (Wigley, 2001, p.11). “We are in the epoch of simultaneity…in the epoch of juxtaposition,…of the near and far, of the side-byside, of the dispersed” (Foucault & Miskowiec 1986, p.22). Drawing on the meanings shaping urban discourses and utopias, the paper seeks to scrutinize the situationists’ conceptualization of “New Babylon” and its enhancements by Sloterdijk’s concept of “Foam Cities” with the intent to examine physical form, social relations and the ambient qualities of urban space as the relation among sites, simultaneously re-presenting different quality spaces. | en |
