Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Inspired by the lifework of visionary Singaporean architect and urban theorist William S. W. Lim, active from the 1960s to the 2010s, this edited volume is a compelling compilation of case studies and historical projects relating to Asia. The Impossibility of Mapping (Urban Asia) gathers contributions from artists, planners, activists, architects, scholars, curators and others, who respond to Lim's critical spatial practice in diverse visual and textual forms. The book emerges from an exhibition, conference, and festival that together explored Lim's concepts of 'incomplete urbanism,' and 'Cities for People' used to describe the crises and complexities in Asia's cities, and to imagine their possible futures. Research essays, artworks, visual and textual documentation, and spatio-temporal maps grapple with the diversity of cities in the region, with a particular focus on Singapore and Southeast Asia, and occasional views further afield. These critical contributions offer unexpected responses to planning, building, and living in cities and urban spaces, and suggest multiple paths into critical spatial questions in Asia and beyond. This key collection is a multifaceted tool for teaching, research, and practice'.
