Description
Agonistic Assemblies presents a revised form of spatial politics, focusing on cultures of assembly and their relevance to community building and political decision-making. Markus Miessen's work explores the role of small-scale and decentralized spatial formats in producing the contemporary city. The author's research trajectory, Cultures of Assembly, was initiated during a Harvard GSD fellowship, where he investigated the sociopolitical dimension of urban spatial design with Joseph Grima. Their study on Diwaniya, a distributed urban form of para-institutional assembly, laid the groundwork for Miessen's ongoing research. This book interrogates how spaces can be envisioned to create publics and generate collectivity and society spatially and in terms of policy, ultimately contributing to spatial justice.
