Revolutionizing Architecture: The New Breed of Urban Planners | Evelina Ozola @ TED Talks
There's a whole new breed of architects and urban planners that are less concerned with designing iconic buildings and more interested in humanizing the rigid unbalanced city. They are not afraid to take risks to work with their own hands and they are masters in finding loopholes in regulations and alternative ways of communication Forget about the arrogant modernist. This new architect is more of a hacker. Practices like exist in France or Raum Labor in Germany or Assemble in the UK are successfully transforming the role of architects and changing the way we look at congested streets empty buildings and undesired areas in our cities.
