ARCHIS INTERVENTIONS | |
|
Beirut, Kabul, Grozny, Prishtina, these and quite a few others are the
cities that today are facing an enormous challenge: to reinvent themselves
again after conflict. Very often the conflict still slumbers. Most of the
time there is a complete lack of public bodies with the capacity and
jurisdiction to enforce law. And always there is a profound crisis of
confidence in the public dimension of urban life. Archis Interventions, a
not for profit branch of Archis Foundation has set itself on a course to
provide cities with clues and concepts to revive the public domain, to
re-energize its urban spirit and to revitalize their trust in dialogue as
the essence of civic life.
