Anatomy of a Street

Anatomy of a Street was conceived to address the urban transformation of Central European cities, by focusing on one particular street or neighbourhood in the participating cities. These streets, functioning as ‘main streets’ in their neighbourhoods, like Király utca in Budapest, can be regarded as ‘mises-en-abyme’ of their city where one can find spectacular juxtapositions of traces of all major dynamisms of urban transformation: immigration, privatisation, public space renovation, gentrification, corruption, globalisation, the disappearance of public food markets, new architecture, civic engagement, etc. The Anatomy of a Street project draws its inspiration from critical studies examining the way how architecture is embedded in social, political and economic contexts, and how architectural objects, symbols and constellations can be described and decoded in specific local settings, as well as in broader global networks.
