Independent School for the City

Info

Independent post-graduate program initiated by Crimson Architectural Historians and ZUS (Zones Urbaines Sensibles)

"The Independent School for the City is a meeting place and educational institute for urban research, development, and activism, based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The school is an initiative of Crimson Historians and Urbanists and ZUS Zones Urbaines Sensibles and is rooted in their practices of combining a critical and activist approach to the city with effecting real change through architectural and planning projects. The independent school for the City is founded on a strong belief in an incremental instead of a tabula rasa approach to city planning which blurs the lines between critique and practice on the one hand, and research and policy on the other."
