ARQ 120: Popular America / América popular
Stephannie Fell (ed.); varios autores
This issue is the second in ARQ’s 2025 editorial cycle, This Is América—a trilogy that explores the continent from transnational perspectives. Popular America investigates how the city is inhabited in one of the world’s most densely populated and unequal regions. Through built works, projects, and essays, the issue explores the tensions between public space and private property, informality and the right to the city, revealing how architecture, landscape, and urban design can operate—through state-led, grassroots, or authorial approaches—as concrete tools for urban transformation.
