City Genealogy reads the city as a territorial machine shaped by rent and climate

These ten essays read urban form as operational structure: a living field where pressure, displacement, cohesion, asymmetry and metabolic limits organise the material logic of urban life. Each text isolates one structural condition and turns it into an instrument for understanding how cities endure, fracture and transform. →

What Is a Field, Exactly?
Socioplastics studies architecture as epistemic infrastructure: a system for organising knowledge, structuring relations and stabilising public form.
Index · ORCID · LAPIEZA-LAB
The Soft Ontology Papers function as a lightweight entrance layer into Socioplastics: shorter conceptual essays linked to the wider field architecture, core DOI sequences and distributed research system accessible through the PROJECT INDEX.

URBANAS is an international art and urban planning agency

Founded by siblings Paula Lloveras and Anto Lloveras, focused on cross-disciplinary projects merging architecture, science, urbanism, humanities, and conceptual art. Based in Spain and Norway, they run LAPIEZA ART SERIES and have curated over 130 exhibitions featuring 1500 works in collaboration with artists, collectives, and institutions. They also founded CAPA, a council dedicated to exploring hermeneutics and philosophical research at UCR3, and are developing a theoretical device called SOCIOPLASTICS to examine epistemology and narrative structures in urban and artistic practices. Educated at ETSAM Madrid, Delft, and Gothenburg, they’ve lectured at NTNU and other European institutions, with their work published in numerous magazines and two forthcoming books.
