Architectural critic, curator, and educator Nina Rappaport will give a lecture Vertical Urban Factory, based on her extensive traveling exhibition and book of the same name with Actar publishers. The project focuses on the spaces of production in cities—both Modernist and contemporary—and incorporates the architectural, technological, and economic factors that shape their design, function, and social impact. In the project, Nina addresses the history of the urban factory in its vertical typology while looking forward, provoking new concepts for the future of urban manufacturing. She underscores the necessity of creating new paradigms for sustainable, hybrid, and transparent urban industries that also take into account the worker in the city and the new economy.
