What is the estate and who is it for? What happens there, not as a matter of empirical conviction, but as a residue of both what could happen and might be happening that conventional observation just doesn’t have access to? It is the syncopated and often ill-conceived attempts at making cities from the unsettlements of “real” estates that we want to examine. With this project, we seek to think through the interstices of the trajectories and calibrations that make European estates into particularly vibrant forms of unsettlements.

"Unsettlements" is powered by open source research. That means that contributions submitted to this website are available to and can be used by all.
