Designing Disorder by Pablo Sendra and Richard Sennett
“A vital and open city does not occur naturally. There are places where improvised activities and social interaction do not happen because the rigidity of the urban environment does not allow this improvisation to take place, planning for disorder is necessary.”
Nordic CityMaking Book Club is an open meeting place where citymakers across borders read and discuss cities.
We are honoured to invite to this very first NCM Book Club mr Richard Sennett and mr Pablo Sendra. They will share the experiences and thoughts that shaped their co-authored book ‘Designing Disorder – Experiments and Disruptions in the City’ (2020), and engage in a dialogue with participants online. The book was on The Guardian list of the best books of 2020.
NB: Due to the force majeure changes in our guest speaker’s agenda, the event is rescheduled to start at 5 pm (Helsinki time). Thank you for your understanding.
The Book Club with mr Sennett and mr Sendra will take place on Zoom and will require pre-registration. Participating in the open discussion are Hanna Harris / City of Helsinki, Mari Vaattovaara & Oskar Rönnberg / University of Helsinki, Nitin Sawhney / Aalto University, Elina Kiiski-Kataja / Ellun kanat, Stuba Nikula / Helsinki Events Foundation among others. The moderator is Katja Lindroos / Nordic CityMaking.
We’d like to thank Archinfo Finland for their kind support.
