Andrea Branzi - The Project in the Age of Relativity

This book brings together Andrea Branzi’s research on city-design, offering new ways to interpret and anticipate emerging social dynamics. Territories are treated as conceptual categories, spaces provided by reality where design can act cognitively, turning the city into a critical concept capable of surpassing its own image. Each section presents a distinct anthropological shift—from the commodity civilization to immateriality, from the metropolis to the anthropological territory where the infinitely small meets the immensely large, redefining our idea of the city. The book revisits Branzi’s Radical work before opening an unprecedented line of inquiry into themes Modernity has ignored: life, death, destiny, the sacred—revealing fractures between tragedy and normality, consumerism and mortality, theology and technology.
