ABSTRACT
Besides the many authors, practices and reflections – spread across the manifold constellations of architecture and urban design – that are inspired by Agamben’s reflections and texts, or that approach him and his thoughts linguistically to inform each of their own works, or laterally with the fruitful legacy of Agamben’s thoughts on contemporary art and curatorial practices, two questions remain to be fully answered: ‘Does the avere luogo (taking place) of the encounters between architecture, planning and urban design and Agamben’s thoughts have a form?’ and ‘What are the projects – from outside his text – that are able to frame both the discourse and critique of the missing political interpretation of such encounters?’
