THE THINGS AROUND US 51N4E AND RURAL URBAN FRAM...

Embedded in politically and economically charged sites in the Pearl River Delta  Mongolia  and
the European Union  51N4E (Johan Anrys and Freek Persyn) and Rural Urban Framework (Joshua
Bolchover and John Lin) operate in expanded ecologies of architectural practice  questioning
the role of the architect today. By collaborating with policymakers  local contractors  and
NGOs  and by engaging their respective labs at ETH Zürich and the University of Hong Kong as
key research locations  both offices investigate new forms of cooperation and dialogue as
crucial strategies for design.51N4E and RUF work at the seams of urbanization  with projects
situated in transitional settlements in Ulaanbaatar  the rural regions of China  the
transforming neighborhoods of Brussels  and Albania's shifting public spaces. This publication
compares their research and design processes in order to question the extents and certainties
of architecture against backdrops of indeterminate notions of citizenship  unstable stages of
urbanization  and insecure economies and ecologies. The Things Around Us: 51N4E and Rural Urban
Framework is co-published with the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal.
