Paraformal
A book on conflictive urban processesParaformal is a book of texts, essays and fieldworks, created collectively around the urban and environmental transformations of Buenos Aires and other cities around the year 2010, at the same moment in which the urban imposed itself as human habitat co-fusing with the rest of the planetary systems. The backside of this sublime scale is the microscale in which the simpler, but progressively transforming, operations of groups and individuals are put in motion to overcome poverty and hard political, technical and economic asymmetry of the city.
