OGLETHORPE PLAN - SAVANNAH

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oglethorpe_Plan

Sources for the Oglethorpe Plan

The Grand Model for the Province of Carolina was cited by the Georgia Trustees as a source of their plan for Georgia, although with the major difference that it would have neither aristocracy nor slavery. Oglethorpe wrote that the plan was conceived with "toleration" and "wholesome regulations."[6] Benjamin Martyn, the Trustees secretary, wrote, "We are indebted to the Lord Shaftsbury, and that truly wise man Mr. Locke, for the excellent laws which they drew up for the first settlement of Carolina."[7] Other sources are speculative, since they were not cited by Oglethorpe of the Trustees. Such possible inspirations include classical planning concepts dating to Vitruvius and Roman colonial planning (e.g., Timgad), Renaissance concepts of the ideal city, and later plans such as the Vauban plan of Neuf-Brisach.[8][9]

URBANAS is an international ART AND URBAN PLANNING agency founded by the siblings Paula Lloveras and Anto Lloveras. Since its inception, it has specialized in generating and documenting projects at the crossroads between the fields of architecture, art, science, urbanism, and the humanities. The curatorial, exhibition and film projects result in a language between the conceptual and the objectual. Paula Lloveras and Anto Lloveras, are architects and urban planners, based in SPAIN and NORWAY. They run LAPIEZA ART SERIES in parallel and have curated 130 exhibitions, presenting 1500 works of art in collaborations with artists, artist-run spaces and museums. In parallel to their independent curatorial work, they have founded CAPA, a council for new hermeneutics and research at the UCR3. Their work has been exhibited and published in different magazines and they are editors of two upcoming publications. Both were trained as architects at the ETSAM in Madrid, at the Delft University of Technology and at the Gothenburg Polytechnic. They have taught studies and seminars at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU. Their current interests include the structure of philosophical hermeneutics in relation to SOCIOPLASTICS, the device that they develop in epistemology and narratives to approach the processes of conceptual art and urbanism.
