Is This Rural? Series Culturing the Country, Cultivating the City a+t 54

The second volume of Is this Rural? series is a reflection on the binary city-country vision, as opposing scenarios, and on the intermediate space that spontaneously arises between both.

It is also an inventory, a synchronously displayed timeline of the events that have taken place in these three territories over the last 250 years.

And finally, a+t 54, Culturing the Country, Cultivating the City is a selection of projects that overthrows the prejudices related to urban and rural tasks.
