In Event-Cities, Bernard Tschumi expanded his architectural concerns to address the issue of cities and their making. Event-Cities 2 continues this project through new architectural project selections. Tschumi suggests that architecture can accelerate the events of everyday life thorough new forms of organization. Using various modes of notation ranging from rough models to sophisticated computer-generated images, he reveals the complexities of the architectural process and the rich texture of events that define urban reality today.
The book includes this first comprehensive documentation of the drawings for the award-winning Parc de la Villette (including many previously unpublished drawings), his project for the expansion of The Museum of Modern Art two architecture schools, a concert and exhibition hall, a student center, a railway station, a department store, and other urban projects.
