SPACE.CITY

Marco Casagrande (1971) is a Finnish architect, environmental artist and social theorist. His works are moving freely in-between art, architecture ans science with the focus on the connection of the modern man with nature. Casagrande's theory of the Third Generation City presents a bio-urban future with the industrial city turned into an organic machine, "the ruin of the industrial city - ruin is when man-made has become part of nature." The 3G condition will be achieved through self organized community actions of urban acupuncture that will manipulate the neuro-ergonomics of the existing cities towards learning and healing process of bio-urban restoration.
