About the show
Unit 3 has continued its interest in the block as an urban type.
The city block – as a consequence of the city grid – can be understood as the archetypal component of modernist planning; the most efficient method of systematically urbanising any territory. Within this indifference the block has demonstrated a capacity to sustain social, spatial and economic variety – a city within the city – on the one hand attempting to be autonomous from (or at least analogous to) the wider city, while inevitably contributing to its overall richness. Working in both Rotterdam and São Paulo, the unit has devised credible and compelling urban and architectural projects that say something about, and work with, the block condition.
