Design a mess. Experiments and transgression in the city. Sendra P., Sennet R.

In 1970, Richard Sennet published the innovative book “On the benefits of disorder”, in which he argued that the ideal of a well -planned and ordered city has its shortcomings. Fifty years later, Sennet returns to these fruitful ideas and, together with the activist and architect Pablo Sendra, is developing a summons for the design and ethics of the Open City. In this bold book, Sendra and Sennet offer to reconsider how we comprehend our cities and plan public life in them. They combine architecture, policy, urban planning and activism in order to develop places that will feed, not suppress, unite, and not share, remain open for change, and not close from them.
